Default Side Indicator / Repeater

I have a 97 ES300 and would like to get clear indicator lenses for the fender indicators. Does anyone know what size indicator would fit here, or at least which brands I can use to swap out the old orange for clear? Is there another car's indicator that I can just fit to this? Can't seem to find anything on ebay at the moment. I have marked the particular lense I am talking about in this picture.

Somehow I am not sure if anyone can answer this question, as this indicator lense only seems to be on the Australian release version of the 3rd Gen ES300.

yeah, and only in japan. so no one in the states will have much info. but you can always try some bmw ones, and splice the wires. the metal is extremely thin on the fenders. goodluck

Thanks Charley. However I am looking at these and they look remarkably similar to the Camry side indicator clear lights, so this may be the fit I need.

Another option is to retrofit some side mirrors with the turn signals built into them. Thats the route I'm going anyway. Just got to find the right side mirror that looks good with the car

EyeZack I had thought about that, but then unfortunately for me I do have the indicator already in the fender and hence I will have major redundancy built into the side of my car Almost overkill
