eBay? Amazon? Link? Been lookin for one since I got the car. Had one in my previous car. Best use of the "o s--t" handle! Ha.
Bought from eBay. Various sellers for them.

Clear side marker lenses arrived today. Took about 20 minutes to install...most of that time shaving the pins off of the bulb housings.

Can you take a front pic of your car? I want to see how the chrome fog trims look. Thanks.

Do you have the link to were you got these..
what do you mean shaving the pins?

ty
The original side marker bulb socket has 4 tabs on the base of it to match the 4 slots on the original orange markers lamps. You would match them up and then turn it to secure in place (similar to the taillight bulb sockets). The clear side marker lamp housing comes with only 2 slots so it's not a complete match although the circumference of the hole is. The bulb socket that comes with the clear markers are too small to fit into the original socket connector also. The only thing to do is to remove the original bulb socket from the connection and trim two of those tabs (the ones that are perpendicular from the socket bend if that makes any sense). Then it should finally slot in and screw in place. I don't own an exacto knife nor a tremel tool. I simply used one of the small serrated steak knives I have in the kitchen to saw the tabs off, careful not to damage the gasket ring. Worked like a charm.
