clear side markers

Can I get OE ones for my 2000 X5? Anyone have these ebay ones?

I bought clear side markers from ebay. Not these exact ones though. Im pretty sure those are exact matches to OE ones. They look good

I should be able to get silver coated bulbs for any of the clear side markers, right? All the ones I saw on ebay come with amber bulbs. I also want to get the silver "stealth" bulbs for my rear clear tails.

I just used the reaular clear bulbs from Autozone, etc. They are only $3 and are invisable once installed. Yes they light up white-ish, but I like the look of the white blink.

BTW we350z are you a member of twinturbo.net? I used to me a regular on there "redzya in ct". I had a 90 TT with over $80k into it. Until my engine that I just had rebuilt blew up. So I then bought a red 350z and did some mods to that. But sold that for my X5. Heres a few pics of the 300zx TT.


Heres what it end up loking like

yes i am on tt.net all the time (we350z), sorry to hear about your z I love my TT and don't think I could ever part with it where as I could see myself selling my X5 in a couple years. It is a nice change of pace from sports cars, I like having a SUV with a sports car flare.

i just got my ebay clear side marker lights today. pretty happy for the most part, the supplied bulb holder (with ambers) fit very loose so I just used the stockers with the clears. Fit was tight but looks good, only other thing was that the rubber surround was a little flimsy. Thought about transplanting the orignal surrounds but they are glued on and when i tried to take them off it seemed like they might rip Can't complain for 27 bones tho.
