Clear fender marker lenses anywhere?

Does anyone have any info on changing the front and/or back fender marker light lenses? I want to rid my MC of all orange on the outside. I don't mind using orange bulbs, but I don't want orange lenses. Thanks for the help!

RSpeed and others sell blackout kits, but I've yet to see white lenses. Check the sponsor directory..

This is the best deal I found. Costs less than half of those available in the U.S. The ebay seller is the_autobarn and his shipping cost was only a few bucks even though they're coming from the U.K.

Here's some clear ones: LINK 1
Here's some smoked: LINK 2

The smoked are actually a little darker than they look in the picture. I got them for my indi blue mini and they look great. Oh, and they come with amber buls to keep them legal.

Isnt he talking about the actual fender reflectors and not the side indicators?

If so...the only place to get clear fender reflectors is from www.clearcorners.com, but they are LED so they cost A TON of money, hope that helps.

I tinted mine with a kit from Lamin-X. Makes the marker lights blend in with the trim and looks discreet, yet they still glow the legal colors at night.

Yes I was talking about the fender markers. Even the owners manual says "take me to your dealer" if you have issues with these lights. I am going to get the side blinker covers soon as those only take about 5 sec. to replace.

Thanks for the link... I'll check out clear corners and see if maybe they can just sell me the reflector... I don't care about the bulbs.

Thanks!

Yeah that is WAY too expensive! I remember seeing a thread on DIY changing of these reflectors but I can't find it anymore... I am looking for something on the order of $20... I still gotta eat!

The only thing is....those bulbs are what make them legal. Because the clear wont actually reflect anything, so you have to have a lot LEDs to look like its reflecting. You could always take out your current ones, trace the shape onto a bigger clear reflector, and then cut out and fit...that might work

$35 + $11 shipping for UPS ground?!?! You've got to be kidding me! What a rip off! I don't do business with people on eBay that rape you on the shipping charges.

I checked their website and they don't list ANY Mini parts... I smell something fishy...

Clear fender marker lenses anywhere other than ebay?

I too want to change my orange and red fender lights. Has anyone found or seen clear fender lights at places other than ebay. The sellers on ebay are asking $33+14.50 shipping. The shipping cost is a little ridiculous if you ask me.

Also, has anyone seen a picture of a PS/B MCS with clear fender lights?

thanks for any help.
