Default Quick Clear Sidemarker Question.

Are there any companies out there that put out clear sidemarkers for the SC400?


LOL just kidding about the question.

I recently got some D-Speed markers, that lost their glue/sealant, whatever, and the bulb socket holders are kinda warped. is it possible for me to just take the clear lense and replace the amber OEM lense? would it be a direct fit.

They are not a direct fit to the OEM units...

You would have to cut the amber off the OEM and then shave the edges down so that the clear lens will slip over it...

Good luck!

There's a guy on ebay, that always has one for auction. They are custom made. Pretty pricey though.

But the quality and fitment are amazing.

I probably overspent for mine, but would do it again if I had to.

These are probably what you're looking for.

I double sealed my DSpeeds when I first got them. I hope mine don't fall off too.

They do look amazing.... especially on a black car... but it's much cheaper just to smoke them for a good looking mod aswell.

and rkyat from what i have heard you can just put them in the oven... then replace the amber and slip on the clear... just mess around with it your self... worst case you will have to modify the shape of the OEM to make sure the lense fits but that shouldn't be to hard.
