Clear side markers
Anyone know where I might get my hands on some clear side markers? I searched this site and the internet including Ebay, and came up blank.

Yes. Those are them. There was a guy selling them on Ebay awhile back, but nothing now. I like the clear, but there are the painted ones too which are also better than the orange.

What color is your car? I have a black SL55 and had the lights done by smoked lamps (www.SmokedLamps.com) and they turned out exceptionally well. The real beauty of them is that the light will show through at night when the lights are on. It is not as bright as the orange but it is still enough that you won't get pulled over for the lack of the markers.

Don't ask for a picture because they blend in so well that you won't be able to see them.
