Has anyone installed clear sidemarkers?

Then get some H&R springs and drop it... don't worry about scraping, just be careful of the "dipped" driveways etc...
Post photos...

I think it looks best when you use the clear bulb in the clear marker.

what kind of clear bulb and where did you get it? that's definitely the look i'm after. does it still blink amber?

The OEM markers have a clear bulb inside the amber marker, when you recieve the clear marker it will have an amber bulb. It is very easy to swap bulbs to end up with a clear bulb inside a clear marker. very easy and looks the best IMO

PS, I have ordered from bumperplugs.com and can not wait to get the clear ones in!!
Thanks to all for helping me with this decision.

Some of you may not be aware that AMBER side markers are the LAW
here in the US.
That's why ALL cars have them .
Clear lenses apparently are OK, but I suggest you leave the amber bulbs
that they come with in them (at least when you go for inspection )

My dealership threw in the clear sidemarkers when I bought the car. Try asking to see if they'll do the same for you.
My bulbs are also clear but flash amber. None of that "fried egg" look.

Just got back from the dealer with the clears installed. I went in to buy a sunshade(which they didn't have...), and left with clears instead. Looks awesome. The rear of the marker on the right hand side of the car is sticking out a little further than the left. It's not a big deal and it's definitely in there snug, I just wonder whether the rear(next to the wheelwell) part of the marker is sitting on top of a track instead of behind it. I don't want to F with it as I'll probably scratch the car like a bonehead. On my Seal Gray it looks SOOOO much cleaner.

YOU WERE USED.
I'd tell the parts guy he's a real tool. You were severely overcharged.
