Default Smoked side markers - wanna trade for some clear ones.

I have what appear to be smoked side markers, and I think they don't really go with my silver car - make it look like there is a hole where the amber light should be.

Anyone with clear markers want to trade?

i understand your problem, had the pumpkins, hideous to me, Ordered some smokes, on a white car - black hole, then ordered some clears. Look much better on cars of our contrast IMO. Good luck, maybe throw them up on Ebay......

The smoked would look great on a seal grey or black car, I bet.

I think the smoked draw as much attention as the amber on my car. The whole point of getting rid of the amber was to get markers that blend in with the lines of the car to make it more seamless, etc. Smoked don't do that.

AFAIK...there is only clear sides (and they look smoked). There are not two types.

I thought so too. Here's an ebay auction for crystal clear (I just grabbed one so don't ask me about the seller). But it has a good picture of them:

If you read my post I had both.... There are clear and there are smoked. Smoked definitely would look better on some cars, just.....not mine!

Cool.

I have smoked on my car not sure if clear will work though, but definately smoked is better than orange.

I like the darker ones on your SY beauty. Kinda goes with the dark rims.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too.
