Question Clear Side Markers...Anyone Seen Them?

I know it's a silly thing, but the red and orange side marker lights bug me; they spoil the looks of the vehicle. For many cars, aftermarket clear lenses exist. Maybe not for the RX300 as the clear lenses are generally a more youthful desire and this car is for old farts like me.

I've searched the interwebs with no luck. Anyone know if clear side lenses exist for the RX300, or if the stock red & orange lenses are a generic item used on other vehicles?

Both front and rear sets are identical, so just buy two. You'll run into a little problem with fitment (of either the front or rears, but not both) I just used a file on the bumper and widened the hole a little, pretty easy and you will never see it once the light goes on. Be prepared to scrape up your arms getting the back ones in though!

good call! I put chrome (lights up amber) bulbs in my wifes 4 side markers and also in her rear turn signals. It really does clean it up quite a bit!
