Default side markers

does anyone know if they are going to make smoked sidemarkers for the IS instead of just having the clear ones?

Heres an option...buy the clear sidemarkers and spray the transparent smoked spray tint on them yourself...it works very well. I had sprayed my rear lights in the past as well as the front turn signal lights on an older car. The brand of spray tint I used was Night Shades...I dont know where your from or if you have a Baxters Auto Parts store, but thats where I got the spray can from. It was like $7 or $8 and one can would do the job and leave you with plenty extra. And the spray is permanent...I tried to remove it like 3 years after I had done it and it wouldn't come off!

I have the L-Sportline kit and it eliminated the side markers. I went to my local speed shop and checked out the Toucan Industries catalog. I ordered 3 different types of side markers so I can compare them in person. I ordered a smoked set w/ a clear bulb, a clear w/ a blue bulb, and a clear w/ a set of leds. If they don't look too ricey I will install a set on the side by the fender like the BMWs, VWs, and Audis. I'll post some pics if I decide to install any of them.
