Default Clear front markers...

After a bit of horse-trading, I ended up with a pair of these. I guess now to get the chrome colored amber bulbs.

Don't get the chrome bulbs-the clear markers don't hide a thing. You can see right through them and it looks wierd, just like a little burned-out bulb.. And if you go with LED's, it's even worse. I just put High-output clear 194 in it and if anyone asks, just tell them it's built in Europe and this is OEM!

I really like the European side markers. I have the clear lamps installed as well.

Some people think the Crossfire is a "weird" looking car regardless of the side markers. To each his own.

I think the Crossfire is a thing of beauty, style and grace.

Did you guys notice that the front and rear markers are exactly the same shape? RR is the same as LF and LR is the same as RF. The colored area is the same, but the bulb location in the housing is moved forward. With a very small amount of modification to the rear marker area, the clear markers should fit. Then finding red bulbs would be the next step. Just something to think about, should you have an extra set laying around.

It's been done already. Somebody had an alabaster coupe with clear markers on all 4 corners at Carlisle in 2007. You're correct, they were modified to fit.

I have the clear markers on front and rear, had to do a little cutting on the rear holes to make them work. I used white inverted cone LED's in the front and red inverted cone LED's in the rear. They look pretty cool at night .
