Tired of making your own custom clear front bumper lights? You can now buy them!

[DirftKing102]

Guys this is the best!!!! I have found them finally on ebay! Now we don't have to make custom front blinker head-lights.

Its a great price to! I am not trying to advertise for ebay but i am just saying at least we don't have to make our own anymore!

How would you make your own?

[adrianfromthecastle]

How would you make your own?

by dipping the blinkers into invisible ink, it turns the amber color into clear

I wish that post was in invisible ink.

[Loki]

Not bad, those first two are pretty damn inexpensive. I dunno, I think I like the front ambers more than I would clear, though.

[ishkabibble]

You might like the clears more once you have your new tails in...

[jamesblonde82]

smoked front blinkers and smoked tails....mmmmmm

[ShallowPockets]

are you serious? i've had a pair just sitting in a box for 2yrs... this is very old news.

[240_ESEX]

I got a better idea. What if I put some invisible ink all over me Imagine what I could do

hahahaha true. They've had those there forever, but I never heard of anyone making their own.

[USDM240]

yeah, these have been around for awhile now. that was the first thing i bought for my old coupe.

[DirftKing102]

Well that was news to me. I never knew you could buy them like that. Shows how much of a noob i am. lol

I saw someone made there own either on this forum or another 240 forum. So that is why i said that. lol

I think you saw write up on side markers, not the front blinkers. IIRC, someone fabricated clear side markers that were originally from one of BMW cars.

I love my jdm clear blinkers because they are clear and can take 2 bulbs inside, so I put amber bulb for the blinker & clear for the position light. I got them back in 1999.

[biggie]

I was gonna say, that's like the first thing I got for my old coupe in the 90s sometime.

And the clear sidemarkers were from the older Mercedes suv (CL?), if I remember correctly.

THAT'S IT!! From Mercedes ML.Clear side markers came out a couple of years after the clear blinkers came out, so people installed ML side markers to match them up with front clear blinkers. I think ML side marker was like $8-9 each. I was surprised to see Mercedes part that cheap.

[Loki]

^ 240s have clear side-markers too? Hmm, clear tails, bumper and sides might look nice.

I might, but no matter what, I think that this:



Is gonna draw all attention away from whatever I stick on my bumper anyways.

[DirftKing102]

how would you make the lights on the side of the car from yellow to clear? Need write up! Thanks

[biggie]

From what I remember and what I see, Mercedes ML320 side marker lights fit in the holes. You have to use the bulb/assembly out of the OEM markers.

Its certain years of ML320 though, can't remember the years.

Here goes the write up.

j/k

You don't have to make one. $19.99 is a good deal, so just get them on eBay. Installation is a breeze. 0.1 out of 10.

In the write up that I saw several years ago, the hole needed to be modified to make them fit right, so it was a big turn off to me.

[DirftKing102]

does it come with instructions so i can put them in? How do you get the old ones out?

[cmkelly]

I just bought a pair last week before I saw this post. I'll let you know what the install is like. I did the front blinkers and rear tail lights a couple of years ago when I first bought the car. Looks great...

[ishkabibble]

does it come with instructions so i can put them in? How do you get the old ones out?

Front blinkers: remove 2 screws, pullFront markers: slide one direction, pullRear markers: held on by two nuts inside of trunk

[ishkabibble]

I might, but no matter what, I think that this:

Quit wasting time talking about markers and paint your bumper then. :P

Thanks guys

Wanna sell me your bumper? There's no chuki bumpers in my area in better condition and everyone wants $300 to repaint the bumper, which I honestly don't want to pay (I could get a damn boot for that price). I was thinking about buying one of those Nissan paint touch-up pens but I'm not sure if it'd work.

[ishkabibble]

The pen wold be a temporary fix at best. Do it yourself with rattle cans?

[Loki]

A whole repaint with rattle cans? I could, but I think it'd look really awkward without the gloss of a clearcoat.

You are right. Mine also had lots of cracks on front and rear bumpers when I bought mine. Waited a couple of years and painted front bumper, rear bumper, front lip spoiler, front bumper extension and everything all together. That way color will match good, and you can get a good deal too. If you are going to keep your car for a long time, save up money and fix it right.

I have a lot of paint flaking on both bumpers, but just gonna get the entire car reprayed cheaply sometime. Also need to line everything up perfectly in the front.
