Yea thats what I was thinking.

I did notice the clear lens is different then derspeed's. I am kinda favoring this ebay one because it isn't as transparent.

I like DS's clear corner a bit more, so I'll hold off.

2008 C350 Sport-Arctic White
Great find guys...thanks a lot, just ordered a set of clears for my white. Anyone know if they come with bulbs? Asked the seller, will post if I get the answer first. Or where to get a good frosted bulb that shows Amber when flashing but stays white when off? Thanks...

I'm looking for a set of those too, but I've read that these bulbs are not as bright as the stock oranges... that kinda sucks. I don't wanna trade safety for vanity... or do I?

I have 2 say, I did enjoy being one of two people possibly in the entire country with the clear markers before they really came out in batches. Oh well, enjoy guys.

Twins! Dun worry, I'm leaning more towards clear. The only thing is that the smoked markers hide that orange bulb inside... not too big of a deal though.

That's what I've read. But don't take my word for it. I know nothing. I'll deny everything.

the clear ones' housing is not white, its silver - I am not sure that'll look good on my white car, I will wait for Der's guy

Also, it doesn't say that it comes with the bulbs?

Hmmm, tempting...

I have a Iridium Silver car and the clear will suit my car the best.
In my opinion the clear sidemarkers that Derspeed has is much sharper looking than the one on eBay, but I'm getting a bit impatient and don't know the ETA of Derspeed's sidemarkers nor do I know how much it is going to cost.

Just got an email from the seller and the bulbs are an extra $3.00 they come in chrome yellow or blue bulbs, not sure how bright. I will post pics when they get installed. If the others look better it's only $50 and 30min of time...

The smoked don't look very dark (My car is black). I'll stick with the overlays on mine till I see some pics of the smoked.

Yes, they were the first sets. BTW, the lenses on these look just like mine. There appears to be a black seam around this version though. I may buy another set to see. Or, maybe smoked. No matter what, in-person, these look waaaaaaaaaaaay better than the amber OEs. You won't regret the purchase; especially if your car is white.
