First wash in my ownership

Finally got to wash the car today since picking it up on Wednesday.
There was a serious amount of moss in all the panel gaps and trim, think it'd been left parked under a tree for some time, anyway after a serious amount of cleaning this is what i was left with.

We don't have the side markers on the bumper in the UK.

Replace with clear or smoked markers and stealth bulbs (silver when off, orange when on).

Any suggestions on where I can get good smoked markers? I have a black car so I don't think clear would go well.

I got my clear side marker lights including bulbs on eBay. Another option is to tint these.

Sorry to high jack your post the cleanness of your car inspired this question.
