Any update, or alternative?
Reverend April 3rd, 2008, 11:20 AM /bumping since this will be buried soon
EmpireSix April 3rd, 2008, 11:31 AM I check every day hoping that the clear side markers will be in stock... can't wait!
steagle April 3rd, 2008, 03:52 PM ditto... man ken is going to sell out as soon as he restocks :D
GrayGhost1 April 4th, 2008, 10:17 AM Nothing from the manufacturer at this time. We had been discussing them making the entire side marker assembly so that there would not be any cutting of the original lens assemblies. They have not got back to me on this yet. However, they have 10 sets of the clear turn signals done and I should get them anytime.
TDUB April 4th, 2008, 10:29 AM Any word on the smoked lenses?
steagle April 4th, 2008, 10:36 AM Ken - what makes up the whole side marker assembly? I always just thought it was a lens and a bulb and not much else.
HyeLifeLS April 4th, 2008, 10:36 AM Clear ones are the way to go...

TDUB April 4th, 2008, 10:55 AM You have to take them off to pass emissions dont you?
rickztahone April 4th, 2008, 10:59 AM ^^^ huh?
LS_Monk April 4th, 2008, 11:01 AM you mean a saftey? You shouldn't have to if your bulb is amber.
TDUB April 4th, 2008, 11:01 AM As I understand it, to pass state emissions and safety inspection you have to have an amber reflective piece on both sides of the front of the car.
rickztahone April 4th, 2008, 11:09 AM oh, i'm sorry i've never had to deal with that. my side markers are blacked out and my corner lenses are not there at all. hope i don't have to do that, good heads up
Chetovil April 4th, 2008, 11:14 AM I got almost the same 20" Zinik Wheels w/245/35/20 Tires, however, I am having problems when I hit a dip on the road. Keeps hitting the frame. Put Spacer on the Springs and did not work. Can you please let me know how to fix these problem.
rickztahone April 4th, 2008, 11:21 AM i do hardly ever rub, only when i'm carrying more than 2 people in the back (which hardly ever happens) but you might want to try rolling your fenders. that would be my first step. pm to follow this topic if you'd like, don't want to take over someone elses thread here
Chetovil April 4th, 2008, 11:25 AM Sorry about that. Very New to This.
GrayGhost1 April 4th, 2008, 12:38 PM Any word on the smoked lenses?
Due to the inconsistent process of tinting we will no longer carry the smoke colored lenses. Basically, they could not get every set of lenses the same color which became a problem if someone needed a replacement lens.
GrayGhost1 April 4th, 2008, 12:41 PM Ken - what makes up the whole side marker assembly? I always just thought it was a lens and a bulb and not much else.
The lenses we had been selling were just the top part of the assembly. Bascially, you would have to cut the top of the amber lens off to adhere the clear lens. You can view the installation guide here to see what I'm talking about:

If the company makes the entire assembly it will be just the whole complete assembly with the metal retaining clip. The bulb will NOT come with it. You just reuse the existing bulb or get another color.
pektel April 4th, 2008, 01:02 PM Will they come assembled already? Might be better to get them unassembled, so a customer could paint the inside of the housing...
JWerner2 April 4th, 2008, 01:20 PM We had been discussing them making the entire side marker assembly so that there would not be any cutting of the original lens assemblies.
I have been thinking about getting a set over the last few days when they come in but I was uncertain of having to do the cutting.
This sounds like such a better way to go and will make for a more professional item.
Count me in on a set. Have you thought about the inside coloration like one mentioned?
01LSVT April 4th, 2008, 02:10 PM Only ten sets? Just curious, but are they making these things by hand? If they have a mold, it seems like they would be able to pop these things out in no time.
I agree, the full housing sounds like the better route.

KD00LS April 4th, 2008, 02:42 PM Just take the lense out and use a chromium 3157 bulb.
pektel April 4th, 2008, 02:43 PM We're talking about the lenses on the bumper...
rickztahone April 4th, 2008, 05:45 PM ken, is there a waiting list or is it whomever goes to your site first and pays gets them?
steagle April 4th, 2008, 07:47 PM a presale would be nice - then that upfront money could go towards manufacturing costs
SolacE April 5th, 2008, 09:41 AM i would buy a set preassembled even though I already have some on my car.
