What is the craze concerning clear marker lights? I don't think that they are legal. Yet I see them everywhere. I never really cared for the look that much either.

To be different I will keep all my lights the stock colors.

Clear markers look so much better, specially on a white car, I think.
up front or down the side there is no yellow so the yellow makers sticks out like a sore thumb. I know theres yellow in the rear but that it...just the rear. I like em alot...to each his/her own I guess.

you dont replace just the lense, you replace the whole unit. The only thing that you will have to add will be the bulb. You will see when you get your set in the mail. Very easy.....

The little clips that hold them in are a little tricky....

Anyone have a pic of these at night? If so please post...

no its all one piece, all you have to do is either climb under the car or if you got skinny arms u can remove the cotter pins from going through the top....real easy...5mins mod including adding new light bulbs.....


heres what it looks like when i added a blue bulbs and there is no light outside....

you can get this spray that is called nightshade or black out to spray the amber or clear lenses.....but i think it may be illegal....not too sure tho

If anybody wants to see them on a 92 metallic Z28, I ordered a set of clear front lights today. hopefully they'll be in by next week

i'm gonna run blue bulbs as well. i am thinking about changing my front parking lights to blue bulbs too seeing as how the lense is already clear
