i agree, however i think only some countries have yellow reflectors, as it is mandatory. I would really doubt you would have any problems with swapping them, which should be quite easy if other SL's have them. I am not definite on this, but quite sure. Anyone out there have clear reflectors?

Dude, I have some Japanese magazine at home. I remembered I saw some clear reflectors, but I am not sure (working now). If they do have, my friend is coming from Tokyo to visit me on the 24th, I can ask her to bring you a set. E-mail me and let me know where are you located. Post some pictures when you are done

they dont make them in clear ...

you have 2 options

buy the euro strip which deletes the reflector completely

or

have them painted the color of your car

i had them painted, and you cant tell at all that they are on the car during the day. at night you can see a low amber glow (my car is white)

evosport

I got the painted lenses from evosport a few weeks ago and they look great. Paint color is a perfect match, and installation took all of 5 minutes. Unless you're standing right next to the car, you can hardly see where the reflectors used to be.

I usually speak with Ben when I order anything from evosport, but anyone that you get on the phone there is always really helpful. I think the painted lenses were about $99.00

Hope this helps.
