Oooh... I think this is the something different that what we're talking about. These are reflectors, not sidemarkers.

The Sidemarkers are the ones that blink.

Well, seriously, does anyone know if there are any SIDEMARKER replacements? I mean, I don't like the bubble look on the fender... the one that blinks.

Correct me if i am wrong but StreetLancer i belive you can just use the original wiring and use any aftermarket sidemarker you want. I have seen some really cool LED ones on http://www.sharkracing.com , i would think all you would do would be splice the original wiring and just add this one on. And for what it's worth you have had alot of helpful post, thanks Street.

looking at the pic, these are reflectors, not sidemarkers. But it's good to have choices now. I'm happy with the carbon fiber ones I have from roadrace, but clear was what I was originally looking for, glad to see that someone answered that request finally another thing to consider, if it makes a difference to anybody, is that the carbon fiber ones don't reflect, while these clear ones look like they do.

Epidemic: you cant just get any kind of sidemarker to replace the stock ones.

StreetLancer: If you want the flatter lens look i would suggest going to a local shop that has a variety of them some come with flat back housing and some come with an embossed housing...if you take the stock ones out they have a housin that sticks out to sit snug inside the hole the hole of the fender...if you do get an aftermarket sidemarker with a embossed housing for the socket you'd have to modify the fender or the housing to get it to fit right. wiring wont be a problem since you have it running through already.

I don't think there has been a GB for these yet. May wanna talk to ozrallyguy about thta .. he's been doing ltos BG things lately.

I got mine from ebay for 25 bucks ... so check that out too. And believe me, to get rid of those amber ones .. the $ is worth it .. with some research, you could probably even find a functional light that fits there and wire it up.
