Clear Side Markers
Does anyone make clear rear side markers for our car?
I've looked but can't find any. I don't like the stock red ones and tinting them doesn't go with my car IMO

I finally got back to doing this, got a pair of side markers from a part-out and a can of GM touch up rattle can and just painted them silver

Before


After one coat, and red LED you can still see the red shine threw when lit, needs a clear coat tho to make them shinny

Meh -- If you plan on Smoking the tails out, Just match it with the tails. I was thinking about this as well but I would have to get a really really really faint white with High Gloss that won't turn yellow when I clear coat it.
I would have probably used the touch up marker on the hardware holding the lens on and perhaps did 2 more coats of color (You can't even see it during the daytime as far as illumination)

you should just tint your tails, 3rd brake light and rear side markers. theres a silver T/C at my job like that has VHT night shades on them. and it looks nice. if you dont like the red. just smoke them out a bit. black matches with anything. i tinted mine out because red lights on a red car looks a bit stupid to me. im thinking of removing the tint and just using VHT. if you can spray right it will come out lookin nice. i didnt go crazy dark, check out my sig if you want.
