Smoked marker light sources?

Smoked marker light sources?
I'd really like to get some smoked reflectors and corner marker lights on my GT, but Rich no longer carries the fronts AFAIK, and the ones I've found on eBay look extremely cheap and crappy. Does anyone have a good source for them? Are they something I can cross shop like the side repeaters?
For reference I'm referring to these, as seen on @karlfranz 's car:
I did find a set on V Collection, but I'm not paying $400 for a set of $2 plastic lenses.

I got mine from red pants but sounds like no longer available. Here’s another option

Cheaper than V Collection, still pricey enough.
Beware that these are not the best assembled units, but the lens itself is of good quality.
When I received mine, there was some flashing and dried glue sitting proud of the joint between the lens and the backing. The front left unit j u s t fit (snugly) but I had to take a file to the front right unit, and gently remove the flashing/glue before it would fit. Once mounted, they look fine, because the part where the lens joins the backing is recessed and hidden inside the fender cutout.
They offer clear and smoked.
They do NOT include any new self-threading nuts, so you will have to save the OEM nuts when you remove the OEM markers.

BTW, I know the Vantage Side Repeater Light comes from a Ford Transit Connect van.
Looking at pictures, I wonder if the Rear Bumper Reflectors come from a 2012-2015 Ford Focus. They look very similar but I haven't confirmed if the dimensions are the same.

Thanks! That actually worked pretty well and it only took about 10 minutes to do vs having to pull all sorts of crap off the back of the car.
Having said that, if anyone else is planning on trying it, the 3M tape I wound up getting off Amazon was pretty shiny - I'd recommend a matte color on the cars with the newer style rear end, though it's really just personal preference.
