Side markers
These are the side markers you can find commonly on eBay. As you can see, the glass itself is clear, with a reflector, so you can easily see the bulb inside.
There are also smoked versions.
You might also be able to find versions with crenelated lenses, which would break up the light pattern more and make the bulb less visible. Or, you could shoot a light coat of gray spray paint on these.

Is there a difference between 96-99 and 00-02?

i considered those lenses but decided i didn't like the spiderman look. settled
for the uniform prism pattern instead...
because that leaves you with potential for lighting violation (nearly all states
in the US prohibit white light markers), i picked up the silver colored 'stealth'
bulbs, which glow amber when lit. this prevents amber coated bleed through
when not lit. (did same with front turn signals, also avoiding the egg yolk
look above the low beam)

"silver'. dont remember if i bought it off the web direct from vendor
or Ebay. regular incandescent design so no worries about 'light malfunc-
tion'
