Looks nice. Where did you buy them? I bought a set on Ebay. Eventually, the bulb melted the plastic, water got in and the bulb stopped working. I replaced both with the OEM amber side markers.

I ordered them from Amazon. But they shipped with orange bulbs. I didn't use them. I ordered PIAA white bulbs instead. I actually have another set of clear lenses. They sent me two by mistake. I am in Astoria if you want to buy them. $40 is the price.

I would probably advise you to switch to an LED bulb to prevent the melting issue after switching to aftermarket side markers.

Are LED just plug ins? Or do you need any additional hardware? Do you have a link of where to purchase good ones?

In any case I have extra set of clear lenses. So let's see what happens.....

A good place to start could be contacting "AZN Optics" here on the forums. He's a sponsor here that works with LED's. They are going to plug and play, no additional hardware required.
