SL 55AMG front Markers - Clear lens ???

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a set of front side markers- CLEAR lens- for a 2004 SL55. Also CLEAR stop/trunk light. I’m having a hard time finding any of these. Any of you out there have any ideas where I can buy them from. Thank you.

"fishcake321" is an ebay seller that I have purchased from several times over the years and has always provided good quality and good customer service. I just looked at his store and see that he has both the clear and smoked side markers for the 2007-2008 r230, but the smoked only for the 2003-2006
https://www.ebay.com/str/fishcake321?_bkw=r230 You could send this seller a note and ask if/when the clear 2003-2006 might be available again.
on my 2003 sl55 (cubanite silver) I have used both the clear and smoked side markers and like the smoked better (I may have a pair of the clear that I pulled off an will never use that could be available). I use the amber bulbs that have a chrome coating (the often are available with the side marker lenses).

for the brake light, I added the factory smoked when the red one cracked (sl63? year?) ... that would be my recommendation (instead of any aftermarket 3rd brake light that might be available).

not the "clear" answer you were looking for, but perhaps it will help,
Chris

Thank you Chris for this info. I will get in touch with “ fish cake 321” regarding the clear lens. Hopefully they will be available again soon. I’m looking into adding a carbon fiber lip, spoiler and rear diffuser. The car is Telurium Silver Metalic.... smoke lenses might go well with fiber carbon accessories and black wheels after all... thanks again...
