Bought SMOKED side markers....but look like clear lenses???
For those of you who have smoked side markers, I bought a set from fishcake, and although the outside plastic edge appears to be gray, the lens itself looks clear! Does this sound right??
Bought here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_2723wt_941
Can anyone confirm the part number and perhaps attach a pic if bought from this vendor?? I saw a pic from this board (don't know what vendor) and they definitely looked like smoked lenses, Thanks!!

I am sure I ordered mine from fishcake and they are definitely smoked. He also sells the clear lights. I think he must of sent you the wrong ones in error. They should look like the ones in the auction you linked to. Have you contacted him about this? I am sure he will make it right. Click on the ones in his auction for clear lenses and you will be able to see the difference immediately. The smoked ones are not really dark but you can tell they are smoked and not clear.

Mine look similar to yours Mort. However, I was expecting them to be much darker......along the lines of the pics in this post:https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...de-marker.html
Appear that they are gray border with a very light "smoke" lens??? Hum.....thoughts????

Just buy a can of nightshade (tint in a can). It sounds ghetto, but it works really well for light covers of any sort. 1 coat is a light tint, 2 coats is a medium tint, 3 is dark, 4 is blacked out.
