You could try 1 or 2 things (not sure if either of them work for real but never hurts to give it a shot) :

1) Look into the clear sidemarkers that are available as aftermarket with the Infiniti G35 coupe/sedan. From the looks of them, they appear to be almost the same geometry as that from the ES. As to where to get those clear markers, go to http://www.g35driver.com for a start.

2) Try to remove the ES sidemarker and take out the amber strip by doing the "oven" trick if possible (http://hometown.aol.com/seanmcelligott).

lexusk8,
suggestion #2 is a no go. There is no amber strip inside. The lens is actually amber colored plastic. The only way to go clear is to have it fabricated or find the exact fit in clear. It is an odd shape lens, sort or rhomboid/tapered.

the roof spoiler is being reworked a third time. Couple of phone conversations and some internet picture sharing to pinpoint what I determined as the problem and where the rework should come in.

but, now that you mention it, I haven't had an update in a few weeks so, I will check it out.
