FOUND a set of Rear Smoked Marker Lights...

I didn't know it was going to be so hard to find Smoked Rear Marker Lights for a Bird! Its even hard to find regular red ones! There are smoked FRONT marker lights all over the damn place, I guess the Camaro is a more popular car? Since the Camaro doesn't have the rear Marker Lights these were next to impossible to find. After contacting a ton of aftermarket lense companies I found the link on here to Klearz http://www.klearz.com/index.html or info@klearz.com they specialize in aftermarket clear and smoked lenses. I talked to a dude named Jay, he IS a Canadian, but don't hold that against him, he's an Awesome Dude (J/K!). He told me he used to make them for 3rd Gen Firebirds but they never solid. BUT he had a brand new set for a 82-92 Firebird in his closet for years! He gave them to me for a few bucks. They look great!

He made them from scratch using clear smoked plastic. They look real nice! I got them yesterday, popped the old ones off the housing, stuck these in, put them on and the car looks even ANGRIER ! I also told him I was going to post a link to his site on here so you guy can harasses him to start making more!

Now I need to match the front ones. My PLAN is to get a clear front marker light lenses, remove them from the housing (I'm about to order 3 sets in case I break them) and clear coat, nightshade them from the inside.

Looks good. I plan on using lens tint film on mine to get that look.

lb9 GTA - Thank you. I was thinking about the lens tint film. BUT ended up the spray tint route. I'm putting VHT Nightshade on my front directionals right now, they are looking good, and its pretty easy. I'll post them up when I'm all done.

Amythyst - It's easy. Clean + wetsand + 3 coats NS + 5 coats CC

Good point on having extra lights. I am noticeing that it seems the Camaro's tend to get more aftermarket love than the Firebirds and T/A's
