FL owners: where did you get your clear/smoked side markers from?

I am trying to get rid of the ugly amber sidemarkers and while painting them is an option for later, I would like to know the source you guys bought clear or smoked side markers from. I have searched on ebay but dont find anything worthy. Thanks in advance for your help.

I think pre-Fl and FL cars have the same side markers.
That was my first mod. I bought them from evosport 2 years ago. Basically they are painted OEM ones. Unfortunately that company does not do business anymore. So your best chance is to buy new ones and get them painted.
I wouldn't buy painted one from ebay unless you want to go the LED route.

oh! I thought they are different since the sellers seem to have 08-11 in their description. Like a fool, I gave mine away with the old car. I did not quite understand your statement in bold. what do you mean by LED route?
Thanks a lot for the reply!

I meant by LED route if you want to install LED side markers instead of painted ones.
If you choose the painted option I would not buy from ebay but instead buy new OEMs and get them painted so you are sure about the result.

Thanks KIS007! I bought from them as well. Did you buy the ones intended for 08-11? or were they specifically for FL cars.

I believe I did. I went back to my ebay account to check, but it was too long ago to pull up the specific transaction. Big improvement over OEM. GL.

Just wrap them. Cost me 8 bucks for a roll and they look perfect. If the wrap ever gets damaged I'll just redo it with the rest of the roll I have left over. Plus you can remove the wrap to sell the car (I believe a non-modded car is worth more, but that's not a debate for now).
