Hi guys,
I remember reading a while ago someone said they put on clear side marker lights.
Well Im considering getting a set but they are for the "front" bumper only. I couldnt find the "rear" ones.
My question is, are the front and rear bumper lights the same size? Can I just get the "front" clear markers and use them for the rear too?
I'm attaching a pic of the sidemarkers.
Thanks,
goncookoo

Autobacs sells them on Ebay.. The front ones will fit on the rear, but you have to flip them over.. I bought 2 pairs for Autobacs, I installed the front with no problems (Thanks to my fellow RXer's here). But I ran into a problem with the rear ones.. I am making an offer that anyone who can help me find out how to get back there without breaking those 2 plastic pins, I would buy them a pair of clear markers....

Yup ebay sells them, but are they pricey?
I cant really tell. I've seen them in stores in asian countries for about 15-20 bucks for a pair (for hondas etc, but none for RX)!
Ebay has them listed for $30+ or buy it now for $40.
How much did you pay for yours if you dont mind me asking.

I paid $32... Don't use buy it now... Usually the only people that buy those are people here and they won't cut your thoat... And if someone were to bid just wait a couple of days and he'll put up another auction for them....

I paid 32 and shipping. Installation was very easy. I am keep the back ones red because it matches my taillights (oldstyle )
) Autobacs is the only one that sells them. that ive seen.

I was looking for clear side markers for my RX this weekend, and I found nothing on E-bay by searching for either "autobacs" or "RX 300".... Are they not around anymore? I have to at least get a pair of these to change the front yellow sidemarkers, if not two pair so I can change the rear too... Can anybody help?

I think someone wrote on another thread a while ago that autobac's doens't sell the markers on ebay anymore??? Not sure.
I recently tried looking for them too (i dunno why) and they weren't there anymore.
Here is the guys name and email address I have from my paypal receipts if you want to email him and ask:
Name:
Hung Lai
Email:
autobacs1@hotmail.com
Not sure if you have the new 2001+ tail lights or not, but I have a '99 RX and rear markers look kind of funny with the old style lights in the back (IMHO). I even put in red bulbs, but it still looks kind of funny. Its just too much of a hassel to go in and replace the rear clear markers with the OEM ones.
HTH,
Paul

sypher: the rears are a little different in shape/size. i had to do a little modding on the new light to get it to fit right. i went in under the rear fender/bumper. just had to undo a couple of screws/plastic. i had a ***** of a time cause i have big forarms (got all cut up ....had to vaseline them to get them to fit) hehe i was determined to get them in. i had to go back and silicone them in to get a nice tight fit.

Sho,
sounds like a SOB to get the rears in, plus they don't fit right once you get em in? Gotta use silicone caulk to get a good seal? Do you have to do any modding and use silicone to get the fronts to fit too, or do those fit up just right?
Damn, I might just change the fronts for now and leave the red alone in the rears - I have an '01 though, so my tailights are the altezza style... and yours looks SOOOOO damn nice.
I dunno man...
