OK, before anyone jumps on me, I spent about an hour searching old threads and the only thing I could find was to NOT buy from Autodynamics.com. Most here have bought off e-bay and a lot have had problems with proper fit. I'm looking for a reputable e-commerce company that knows what the heck they are doing and that sell clear side markers that FIT. Can anyone help????

I bought my first set from autodymanics, they fit, but after i took them out to replace new bulbs, they never fitted ever again, I bought a set of clears from F1 motorsports, first thing i did was installed them and took them off and installed them again, no problem =]

but doug's suggestion, "Euro Impact Strips" I agree =]
or smoke them...thats what im doing =]

So you don't want them color matched to your car?

Euro strips would be my preference, BUT, I need to buy rims/tires and pay for the grill, C55 spoiler & flat hood badge that are alreay here, Euroteck CF Lip, coil overs & sales tax. I figured I could flip the $40 for the clears and get the Euro strips later. I could just get some Iridium Sliver paint and paint the stock ones for now.

dont the euro impact strips totally eliminate those frontside blinkers?

if yes:

how come one needs a amber bulb when having clear lenses if there is no real use for it anyways?

or am i totally wrong with those impact strips?
