Default Clear Corner Side Markers

Anybody who has em, wheres a good place to get em that wont look cheasy? Was hoping to get something that looked OEM but clear. I found a bunch of ebay ones but read an older thread from 2010 where a guy said up close they look "weird"

Anybody that has these feel free to show some picsss

I left some links below of the ones I am looking at on eBay. i like the first DEPO ones the most

I have the clear ones, but I sandblasted them to get them a little better looking imo. I dont like how they are completely clear. Still lets light through, but at least you dont see the bulb.

Did you get the DEPO ones? Or just the cheapo ebay ones. I heard there isnt much difference and to just go witht the cheap ones.

OBX made these back in the day, although you'll be hard-pressed to find them anywhere.

Oh sh@t you're right. I didn't even realize. Well the ones I was leaning towards are the first ones. My second choice would be the last ones.....and my 3rd choice would be the middle ones. Not sure how I feel about those middle ones. Kinda cool but might look totally off when actually on the car. I was really hoping some members here had pics of their Clear Corner Markers.

I have the LEDs in smoke color. They're actually not that bad, and the light output looks good. The only thing I don't like them is that they are bulky and pop out too much from the bumper.
I'm selling them in the classifieds.

I'm looking for the SAME exact thing, a clear side marker light, I saw the same choices on ebay as you. I don't like either of them. I'm prob gonna wait until a better solution presents itself. My 2GS is pearl white with yellow side marker lights. I can live with it but prefer upgrading the side lights too !!

I hear you brother. I will keep you posted on what I end up doing or if I find anything. I really wish I could find a set of those OBX ones but I'm almost positive they are discontinued and old/used ones will most likely be faded

Cool what's your plan to cover em up. And is that lip a replica? It looks nice. I want to get a lip for my car but I'm scared of replicas cuz I always hear they fit like crap

If I could find these I would jump on it in a heart beat. The version out now is cheap, rice, and ghetto. Hate them.

Damn damn damn! I seriously want those OBX's. I bought my GS with the first option marker lights already installed. I really didn't care about them till now. Well since I won't be able to have those OBXs, I'll go OEM Amber. These cheap EBay markers makes the bumper look cheap.
