I saw this on ebay and contacted the seller - http://klearz.com/products.html

they have clear turn signals for $50 plus $7 shipping to the US/Canada - they are in Canada right now.

this is what they look like


the price seems great.

no affiliation, etc.....

Are clear legal in the US? I mean the lenses might be, but then do you have to have an amber bulb?

It's less than 1/2 the price of the Swedish version.

Awsome price!

Anyone order and receive them from this source yet?

I think I'll get a pair.

Of course they're legal, Steve, look at any new car on the road these days. But you're right - the bulb must illuminate amber. In order to eliminate the 'egg yolk' appearance of an amber bulb behind a clear lens, many folks use Silver Vision bulbs - it appears silver (so is hidden behind the lens), but illuminates amber. This approach worked real well on my BMW when I retrofitted clear corners to it.

I'm pretty sure it's only for 87 and newer (S4 and beyond).

I emailed them and they confirmed it only fits 87-95 928 S4, GT, GTS

I'm also asking them about clear front side markers.

Hello All,

Shaun89 and myself have been putting this thing together for some months now. It has been far from smooth. We first sent them a deposit on the lenes and a set to cast (Shaun’s set). The house that Klears was operating out of subsequently burned down and we (err…Shaun) lost his OEM set. We then sent a second set (Mine) and had the molds made. It was a lot of e-mailing and fedex’ing.

Shaun and I had 3-4 extra sets made that we had hoped to sell on ebay for about $75 USD to cover our time, and costs (not for profit). Unfortunately we have both been exceptionally busy and have not been able to list them yet. Infact Shaun has been so busy with work he has not even had time to ship the lenses to me yet.

Dam jobs! How is anyone to enjoy his or her cars!

The clear lens quality is very good. The screw hole may have to be cleared of plastic. They are only for 87+ cars.



I will be listing our extra sets on ebay shortly, and hope to get back our R+D expenditures.

For those of you here, be sure to remember that these lenses are $50 USD from Mark at 928 INTL, or from Klearz. Ebay sales are already well above that.

“Inside info”….Just one more reason that the Rennlist is the place to be!

Cheers,
Mike

BTW.... We have "only 3 sets", and if anyone wants them for $75 USD, we can have them to you with FREE SHIPPING to CANADA and US via FedEx.

Cheers,
Mike
