Im with you on that one. I too ordered the cheaper clear ones from carparts.com and thought they looked like sh**! Too much like a bike reflector IMO

You get what you paid for right? I learned that on many ocasions in the past.

 

I have managed to find clear side markers that are what seem to be the exact replica of the amber ones on the S. I will attempt to take pictures of the installation this weekend and post them early next week.

Pinky I think they are the same Dome type that you got.

If all goes well, I will setup a group buy for those who are interested, (it will probably be more beneficial for the Canadians here due to shipping costs).

Here's another 'Cheap' version of the clear side marker lens for the S2k. This set cost me $20 and are shape exactly like the stock lens. You still have to mess with the metal tab on these too.

 

Not the best pic in the world. I also got the carparts.com cheap ones. Easy fit, exact same shape as the stock ones.

 

The install was a success and the markers look good.

I changed out the standard amber bulbs on the marker to a set of blue coated bulbs that are "xenon" filled. The result is a blue colored bulb that flashes HID white.

The install process I followed is:

1. Turn the car off.
Slide the existing marker towards the front of the car and pull the inside edge out.

2. Carefully remove the marker from the socket.

3. Squeeze the connector and seperate the Marker from the power lead. !!BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THE LEAD INSIDE THE BODY!! Store the Marker in a safe place.

4. Take the new Marker and 'pinch' the 2 metal plugs together slightly. You will need to wipe your hands with a cloth after as there is some sort of "goo" on the plugs.

5. Make note of the left or right marker (as labelled on the underside) and connect the correct one to the power lead by snapping the lead in place. Make sure that it goes all the way in.

6. Repeat the process for the other side of the car.

7. Test the connection by starting the car and using the indicator (left and right) as well as the Hazards. NOTE: it may take one or two clicks before the light will come on the first time. This happened to me, I don't know if it will happen to anybody else. It ONLY happens the very first time you use the signal. It has not happened again since then.
If the light does not come on, check to make sure the connection is secure.
Turn the car off when done.

8. Insert the outside (front of car) edge of the Marker into the socket. Push the inside edge into place until the metal clip snaps into place

9. Stand back and admire the beauty


These are the same as the dome ones posted above.

Here are some pictures. They are a little blurry.

 

Love the snow pic...
