clear side marker lights?

To my knowledge, there are none currently in production. S5s seem to have a more "clear" look on the front, that is, compared to the orange colored s4s. I haven't ever seen any clear corner markers on the passenger and drivers side of the fenders.

Here are some pictures of mine:







If you're going to make some, at least use some OEM material to give them a stock look.

The front and rear side markers are different sizes on the S5. Something CorkSport didn't know when I bought mine from them ($120+ IIRC). I had to modify them slightly to get them to fit correctly and shattered one while redrilling the screw hole. Check with them and find out if they're still offered, they look lots better than the ghetto clears most guys run with.

i got an S5, so i just pulled out the orange part of the front signals.
the sidemarkers on the euro-spec FC's are HUGE, check this pic of my car when i bought it



now when i had to take it out for a new paintjob, i wanted to get rid off those nasty orange things, but still stay road legal.
so i looked around every time i was driving around the country for my job, and finally saw a Skoda drive by. it had the smallest clear sidemarkers i have seen on ANY car till then.
so i was off to the SKoda dealership for some nice clear sidemarkers

they look way better then the stock ones!
