    Clear front side markers?

    Do they exist? I just got clear fronts and need to clear out the front side markers now. US bumper not euro...


    thanks!

    I found these but they have silver border, perhaps I can paint them black?

      Yeah, i've been looking for the same ones but with black trim


      You can make ur own anyway. Just drill out the existing orange or red reflector material until it's all out of there.
      Then go to autozone and buy the clear reflector material. It's roughly the length of 2 sidemarkers. From there, just trim it down and fit into the existing stock housing. Use some clear silicone sealant (very little), and you got clear sidemarkers.

      good luck

        We sorta went over this recently, close enough



        CLiffnotes: clear sidemarkers are ugly and Euro trim would be a much better route to go.

            I thought it would be a nice contrast w/ the aplinweiss I have but then I smartened up and decided to go smoked. The clear isn't too bad but I think the smoked looks a ton better.

              I'm a fan of all reds on white and black cars.
              The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.
