Default WTB: Crystal clear side markers

I'm trying to find crystal clear side marker for my 01 A4. I keep finding the stock rigid ones, or clear ones with writing on them and the bulb shows through. Here is exactly what I am looking for, crystal clear side marker that hides the orange bulb.


I do not believe these have the stealth bulbs in them, they are just constructed to hide the orange bulb, and still signal orange.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THESE?

(And no, I don't not want to use ebay.)

So far I only know ECS that actually carries them but they are back ordered.

ECS does not carry the ones I'm looking for. Like I said, they have no writing on them, and you cannot see the orange bulb in them when mounted. They are made to hide the orange bulb.

Looking at the picture closely now, it looks a lot like the stock B6 side marker. Are you sure it wasn't for the B6?

this picture was actually pulled of a B6 stock photo, but I know someone must make these for a B5. I have found crappy ebay ones, but a lot of companys make nice ones just like this for veedubs. i just can't find them for an B5. Maybe it's just a lost cause

For the last couple years, I've only seen the clear ones which you will find on ECS. There are also the smoked ones or the amber ones and that's it.

Maybe you can measure up the size of the one stock from B6 and try using it for the B5?
I'm sure if you want them badly enough, you can put it on there as they are just taped on. Hopefully the size of the B6 ones will be the same if not bigger so you can probably cover the "holes" for them.

Yeah, thanks for the idea, but I'm not looking for some hack job. I don't need them that badly. haha

Or I'm also interested in nice smoked lens. All the site I use I can't find anything good. ECS, PureMS, etc.

What aftermarket sites are some of you using for little car bits?

What's wrong with ebay side markers? I've had no problems at all with mine for the past two and a half years. There's a whole thread in one of the stickies with a list of aftermarket sites you might want to check out.

Mmm I've probably seen it. I've been to so many aftermarket sites. Do you have the link to the sticky?

Some people recommend some ebay sites to me, but they were all salvage companies.
