Clear side marker lights

About one year ago ebay.com was full of these...now i can't find anyone who sells it.

Could someone help me?

I've been hunting for some to replace my fronts that had a melting problem. No one seems to have them. I found one place that claimed to - I ordered, then they found out that they couldn't get them either...

... that said, dark taillight tint film works well on the side markers and can make the OEM ones "disappear". I have the smoked ones, and like them even better with the tint film on them....

I had a set of four clear ones that I got off of ebay a couple of years back. They looked great until I damaged one of the trim pieces and broke one of them. I've looked all over for replacements for them, but to no avail. They were certainly less than 100 dollars though

bimmian.com, which now seems to be coopersports, seems to carry them although there is an error on their website that links them to the cargo net instead... you could always call them to see if they are available...

Black bumper paint and removing the bulb makes them disappear.

Or, it would probably cheaper and easier to get the euro arches to replace them.

Dark taillight tint also works VERY well.

Not to be a PITA, but you just bumped a 1.5 year old thread. In addition the OP was looking for clear side marker lights, not stock orange/red ones.

But if he started a new thread, he would have been told he should have used search to find an existing thread first.

BTW, I got my clear side markers off of eBay just a couple of months ago. So, they seem to be still available.

What about Outmotoring? Seems they have every imaginal lens available. Clear, smoke, LED..... I assume that your looking for second generation too.

I guess if you wait long enough they come back in style.....
Amazon.com - they have the "white" ones (What you would call clear) for $15.00 and they are in stock.

I may have stated the incorrect generation of Mini, but, Outmotoring has 1st generation lighting in addition to 2nd generation. Take a look.
