Has anyone tried these new black markers?
Looking at possibilities to mod my car, I'm pretty set on getting rid of the ugly ambers and possibly removing all red too.
As far as I know the only option until now was vcollection. I did a bit of searching and found this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASTON-MARTIN-DB9-DBS-VANTAGE-RAPIDE-VIRAGE-LED-FRONT-BUMPER-LIGHTS-BLACK-/121201702558?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Make%3AAston+Martin&hash=item1c382f369e&vxp= mtr
Apparently they're made by HELIX. I wonder if they have them in clear/white. They have a bad photo in ther facebook page.

Those look cheap and cheap. The LED nodes are visible and just look too Kragen.
Are you after clear/crystal or dark/black?
What your car might really like is keep the red tails and markers and add red to your calipers. Looks like you have Tungsten, which is a great color and looks great set off with the red lenses and red calipers. If you go all clear/crystal, you end up in a near monochrome pallet with no accents. Some people like that. It isn't horrible. But I love the way my reds pop, especially the calipers behind the dark wheel spokes. YMMV

I definitely want the ambers out though. I'm adverse to amber

I bought the black markers and put them on my DB9. They look great. I posted a thread on installation

I have a set of these, that I'm thinking of installing on my car. I believe Karlfranz has them on his new car also (its where I first saw them).
Honestly they look a little like the headlight LED unit. I do believe they blend well on darker grey and black. I'm not convinced they will look as good on my stratus white.
Truly, the best white markers I've seen are the V Collection ones. However they haven't been in stock for a while
