Clear side markers
Has anyone purchased and swapped the front orange side markers with clear ones? how much and where can you purchase something like that? i came across this site that sells them for ~$72....is that a good price??? BMW E70 X5 SAV Clear Front Bumper Reflector (USA Models) - Stealth Auto

you can buy colored side markers to match the color of your car. I have black sapphire so i got the smoked side markers. Bought mine off ebay for $40 shipped- and its the same quality as buying them for $72 from that website.

I went through that link last night and didn't remember seeing a radiator when I did my fogs a few days ago... thanks for the clarification. Just ordered.

BTW, laws don't really care about reflector colors do they? Seems only the side signal colors need to stay amber.
