Gauging interest for new side marker design from DEPO ("frosted" clear)
Personally I don't like crystal clear side markers. I was hoping that someone would have a "frosted" design for our vehicles but I haven't been able to find any. So I asked DEPO and they put me in contact with their USA sales representative (USR) about this new design. I'm trying to see if there would be enough interest for them to go ahead and design this side marker. I'm sure there would be a small discount since this would be a group buy.
What I'm talking about is this style of side marker:
See how the clear one has a "frosted" look to it? This is because they are EXACTLY the same, except the frosted one is made with clear/colorless plastic instead of amber colored plastic. This frosted style sidemarker hides bulbs better than the crystal clear version, it also retains reflective properties because of the prism texture of the inside of the lens.
I'm sure they would want 10-20 people at minimum committed to the idea before [thinking about] producing them. The benefit is these should be produced fairly quick after approval since the only change between OEM and these is the color of the plastic.
If you're interested please add your name!

I'm also asking for help. I'm fairly new to MB vehicles so I don't know of any other popular forums. I also don't know which vehicles these sidemarkers work on besides the W204. Any help is appreciated!
