Clear side markers.
I made some, check it out;
It's overhead ceiling light plastic with a clear piece of lexan on top of that to protect it from road debri and to make it as thick as original covers. Took all of 4 minutes to make one.

And have to deal with all the vendor fees and other red tape on this site?
Anyways, I'll think about that.
My buddy that was supposed to come hang out while I made more bailed and I decided it was to cold and dark to stand in my open, unheated barn alone so for now here are some more pics.
These are all of the rough, quick made one.
I would also like to point out that I have led bulbs in my side markers so they appear white during the day and are amber when on for the front and red in back.

uh..... They are clear and they are sidemarkers.......
Also I MADE these, didn't say they were oem quality and as I stated earlier on I'm not super interested in mass making them for money, this was more of a hey check this out, and showing for someone else to possibly make too, these are by no means as nice as yours.
Also to hypertek, if they yellow well were back to square one. I got enough material to make a TON of these for 10-11 bucks from lowes, I'll make more no big deal. This is my daily not a show car. Didn't mean to step on toes or anything with this, just thought hey someone else could make these easy I should put out the word.
I have made a ton of stuff for my car from seein other peoples ideas on the site. Was just trying to give back.

I have been away from the forum for a while.. The ceiling light thing was done back in 1999 when I first came on here.. So I wasnt thinking that people hadn't heard of it.
My comment was more like crocodile dundee "that's not a knife,..THIS is a knife." no disrepect really, I used to make them out of lexan 15 years ago and frost them from the back, they don't desinigrate when they get wet like the light covers..
