HERE IS THE WAY TO MAKE YOUR OWN CLEAR SIDE BUMPER MARKER LIGHTS.
(CAUSE YOU CAN'T BUY THEM ANYWHERE)
Ok what you are going to wanna do is go to auto zone and there are clear side markers that stick on to trailers and trucks..Buy 4 of them. Now note that there is a black backround on the back that has an addheisive to make them stick..They are the same width as your stock red ones but a little bit longer then your stock ones...What they are, are reflectors..but this works..
1.Make sure you have 4 of them..
2.Take one of your stock bumper lights out to match up to the reflector.
3.Make sure that you have a sawzaw (Fine Bladed) a drill to make the two new holes on both sides of the reflector. Note
Make sure the holes you drill are to size for your stock srews.
4.Start by fitting the reflector to your stock light for the length..
5.Mark where it has to be cut.
6.Start cutting.
7.After cutting you will now be able to see where you can fit a small flat head screw driver inbetween the black sticky backing and the clear reflector.
8.Carefully,NoteCarefully) start to peal and spread both away from eachother trying not to crack the reflector.
9.After sucessfully doing that, take a fine 400 grit sand papper and smooth out the areas that are rough.(If needed)
10.Repeat this process for the remaining 3 that are left.
11.When all is done, take one reflector and put it on top of the stock light to fit where the holes need to be cut, and make it with a marker.(Make sure that you have the right size drill bit for that screw to go through.
12.Begin to drill the two holes.
13.Repeat for the remaining 3 that are left.
14.when all done take two of the reflectors and put them together and place it where the stock light went.(The reason for two is to fill the gap up cause just one is too thin on the rear.
15.Change what ever bulb you would like to put in there cause now you have made a clear bumper lense.
Now your bulb is going to be exposed to the outside now since there is nothing around it to hold it in place...But now is when you are on your own and make something to hold that bulb...I just used a clamp and mounted it to the inside of the bumper and works perfectly.
And waaaaalaaaaa your done...One of a kind.....Cause you can't buy them anywhere..Look @ my photos and see how they turned out.
Hope those instructions helped....
