OEM-style clear S13 sidemarkers

[Matej]

So today I decided I'll order a replacement pair of clear side markers, they used to be all over Ebay, but suddenly I can't find them anywhere. I want ones that are made exactly like the stock amber markers, except clear. I don't like any of the bulgy 180SX ones.

I actually already have a pair, but the passenger one is scuffed up from my fender flying off on the highway (haha), that's why I've been meaning to get a new pair.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, I got these off Ebay a couple years ago, and yes I used to have pink bulbs in them. :keke:

Luckily I still had the box they came in and apparently they were made by a company called Helix, so I searched for it and found their website, http://www.helixautomotive.com.

The problem is, the website says they don't sell to individual buyers, plus it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while.
Perhaps a Zilvia vendor could try contacting Helix to see if they're still around and become a dealer for the sidemarkers, please, I'm sure they'd sell well, pleeeaase. :bigok:

But the point of this thread is, does anyone know if any place sells these, or any brand "OEM-style" clear sidemarkers like this?

Also, I acknowledge the fact that making a thread about sidemarkers is kind of silly, but I really really like these and want more to last me forever haha.

take a closer pic of the lights.

If the manufacturer is one of my suppliers, I can try to get it.

I saw those, those are kind of cool too, but they have nothing on the bling of the clear ones haha. I actually did contact the seller about it before, but they never replied.

I dunno, I see them from time to time on ebay, best thing i can say is to wait.

[SimpleSexy180]

im down for set. i dont have front markers, but i would love to replace the stupid red ones for the rear.

[drifter808]

Is it just a modification or does it seem that JDM 180sx's in japan dont even have that red light in the back?

OP: i used to have the ame things and have really been wanting another. And same thing i got off of ebay.

[Bushido]

stock side markers are boring. adapt some bmw ones:

I remember someone saying a long while back that they used some model mercedes benz side markers (I think it was like a C230 or something). Supposedly it was about the same size and style(shape) as the oem one.

you can probably find some knock off oem benz ones since your asking for cheap.

I was just gunna say that. I remember a post along while ago saying u can use a stock c230 or slk230 sidemarker.Its close to the same shape as our stock corner light but clear.

What I like about them is how the reflective pattern creates a rainbow flake effect under light, it's especially brilliant under sunlight, and when they're on in the sunlight the light from the bulb mixes with the colors and it looks pretty cool, sorry I couldn't take pics in sunlight because my car never runs haha.

I don't know, I guess I just really like lights and colors, I once took apart those cheap Ebay H4 housings and clearcoated rainbow flake to the reflectors, I wish those things didn't have such garbage light output because that was the most baller thing ever haha.

[projectRDM]

ML320. Trim the fender just a hair and they snap right on. Look 20x better than anything you can buy. They're cheap too.

[Sonic Motor]

that picture isnt close enough for me to read the writing on the reflector.

Can you type it out? All the writing on the lens.

Hmm I can barely read it but I believe it's:

I tried the BMW ones shown above, but they didn't really fit or look good

I used clear side markers from a 99-00 Civic (I think?)

It was the closest fitting one I could find

Had to trim some of the plastic tabs off (easy)

And just make a tab to hold marker behind fender, and put a screw through that tab into marker

here is a 240 with the ml320 side makers

Silvia front end made my front ones go away, and I shaved the rears. Those lights are pretty much useless anyway, so why not clean up the body. :D

If you really like them though, good luck in you search. :bow:

^ there you go... man that car has been everywhere lately.

are those E36 3 series ones?

[Matej]

I'm feeling the look of the ClearCorners ones, I wonder if he buys those up somewhere to customize them or if they're his own make.

I've seen it on every forum that I go on that has to do with cars now lol

those aren't the lights, those are trim rings that go around the lights.

[hotlavaflow]

Just ordered the E36 side markers. After seeing them on the tan/black S13 I couldn't resist.

If anyone knows where I can get those latches to hold the bumper on let me know.

Your local BMW dealer will probably have them.
