I'm looking at the ones that are on ebay right now.. I see how there are a few different styles, which one looks the best? Can I have opinions? or should I just get them from the sponsers? I would probably want to leave them white myself, the only thing is I'm not sure if I'd like the sides being white and the front headlamp signals amber...

Why dont we all either...
1. Get Euro Impact Strips (pefer with parktronic, b/c it looks sexy!)
2. Paint your sidemarkers body color.
thats the best way, it looks "cleaner"

Clear is legal? Didn't know that.
Either way, I think it looks cool.
I also blacked out the grill with Blackout tape.
Unfortunately I did a crappy job and there's bubbles all over.
Guess I'll just pull the grill and paint it.
I have the clear fogs lenses too, but just waiting for the bulbs to come in the mail.
Tail tint coming too, but that'll be a bit of a project.
Everyone's begging for pics...here's a couple

Seriously, Advans? Do you think side markers would look good in Bordeaux Red?
Does the bulb (light) show thru? I have been on the fence and thinking about this for a while. I want to go with clear sides but what bulb is it you recommend? Should one use clear bulbs in the side mirror and front signals as well?
Thanks!

I kept the stock clear bulb. I think the amber bulb looks funny since see the orange dot. The stock clear bulb matches the parking light bulb when lit up. I'm probably going to get them painted 040 black when I drop of some other items to get painted.

I have a question on the Euro Impact Strips. When you remove the side markers and replace them with the impact strips with no lights does this give an error since there are no more bulbs in there? I was wanting to know before I buy some of the Euro Impact Strips. Does anybody know? Thanks in advance...

if you bought them...jus tpop out your old one's and try fitting them in...even thought I think some 07 owners here did that already...just try it...take a cloth and small flathead...and start from the back of the sidemarker (the edge towards rear of the car) and fit your flathead between the sidemarker and the impact strip...make sure the cloth you use is backing the other side of the flathead (THIS IS SO YOU DON'T SCRATCH YOUR PAINT!)...then just pop it out...but be gentle at the same time...try to look where everything is held together n slowly fingernail the other edges out...then take out the bulb...put bulb in new sidemarker...try popping it in...should fit.

Clear Corners in California
Looking for a cheap mod to do next. I am thinking of putting clear corners on the front bumper but do not want to be harassed by the CHP and getting pulled over for some stupid reason. I have light tint on my front windows but do have a front license plate. Anyone ever get a ticket for the corners?

i have clear corners and they are fine. they are just a running light [well for 03's at least]. they dont act a blinking/signaling light.

Painted to match the body colour is the way to go or better yet, euro impact strips (although much more expensive). the cleaner the better
