Home made clear sidemarkers for S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Since the clear sidemarkers were too expensive, I decided to make my own somehow.  I read the Benz sidemarker one for the S13 under the "Install" section here.  I have been thinking about that for a while.  I was thinking about the Accord rear sidemarker, but that was 1/8 of an inch short on top and bottom, and since the place for the sidemarker is dented in, the sidemarkers have to be perfect size, so it's probably a good idea to get something bigger and sand it down to that oval shape.  So what can I use?  Are the Benz ones for S13 big enough?  Also, can someone tell me how to get the sidemarker out?

two bolts on the back of the side marker and it will come out and twist the bulb out and voi la

i could have sworn i've seen clear sidemarkers on ebay for like $30.... for the S14.

Ehh...you're talking about a fairly complicated process when it comes to clearing a lens.  It is worth every penny to get the sidemarkers from www.clearcorners.com  I have had them for a little over a year, maybe a year and a half and have had no problems whatsoever.

They are $30, at start usually, but the last hour or minute, everyone place bids, and they go up to about $45-50, usually.

those are S13 front turn signals, aren't they?  Azn GTR's looking for S14 sidemarkers.
