Just picked up the new ride tonight and I'm already searching for accessories. Has anyone found a website that has clear lense front side fender turn signals instead of the yellow/auburn? I know it's law that they be yellow/auburn but it looks cleaner with those being clear.

Why is it that all US vehicles have to have these??? I noticed that European sold vehicles do not have these.

Thought those lights on the side at front and rear were actually side marker lights (although they might double as turn signals)? So that you can see the car from the side at night, as you can't see the front or rear lights from the side. Quite a good idea actually. They were introduced in the US some time in the late '60s I believe.

Every country has its own ideas on what lights cars should have. For instance it's the law here in UK that all turn signals must be amber, but in the US they are often red at the rear, which can be extremely confusing when someone is braking whilst signalling and all the red lights at the rear can be flashing at once! Must be a lawsuit there somewhere..

Bummer..went to the forum and it looks like there's not enough interest. Told Shaka to put me down for clear when/if they're ever made.
