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.

thanks for the response. yea i found a website where they were painted to match the vehicle but didnt have my color :cool:

did you check Jlevisw.com? they dont have much for the e70 but i think they have almost every color.

yes i came across that website but they did not have the platinum bronze color either...looks like i might go with the clear ones.....do you guys know how they are installed? is it just clips?

The driver side is not hard if you have a 3.0si since the radiator is not there. It was as easy as the passenger side for me.

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.

thanks for the diy link :thumbup: ...no there is no law about the color of the sidemarkers....you just cant have blue or red forward point LED's found that out the hardway lol

Are there any pics out there of the clear markers on an E70? I have titanium silver and looking for pics of those that have done it.
