I really want to get rid of those ugly orange indicator lights and change them to clear ones.
Just wanted to know where I can get them from (whether online or another vehicle).
And do I have to change the bulb aswell as the casing.
Oh, I also want to change the front ones to clear aswell, do I just have to change the bulb for them, since the casing is already clear. Or is it orange on the inside of it.
Thanks

The search doesn't work that well, as all the links you posted don't answer any questions about the SIDE INDICATOR LIGHTS.
So, thats why I had a separate thread asking information about CLEAR SIDE INDICATOR LIGHTS. Because I couldn't find it on THE SEARCH SYSTEM. You understand?

You can get the nice clear ones from
http://www.corksport.com or you can sometimes find them on ebay if you look.

Seeing that he is from the UK- I assume when he says side indicator lights- he means the ones that are on the fender between the door and the wheel well. (that wasnt offered on this side of the pond)
You can get any aftermarket kit to replace your stock ones or one of your local tuning shops should be able to source some clear ones.

I know it didn't based on the reasons already stated by atlantamx3 which I already knew based on your sig. What I posted for you was for your second part of your question - the front markers. The links worked for me before. BTW, your welcome.

Basically I want clear side indictor lights like this one
And with the FRONT indicators is it possible to just somehow rub or scrape off the orange tint thats on the inside to make them clear.

In the UK, I think it would be illegal to have any other colour than amber as your indicator.
As far as I'm aware, all bulbs on a car are clear and it's the colour of the plastic casing which determines the visible colour of the light.
Actually: I found the info below on the MOT site (for non-UK forum users: MOT is the name given to the yearly road worthiness test all UK cars must complete once they are over 3 years old).
[ from the MOT site]
d. that every direction indicator emits amber light, except vehicles first used before 1 September 1965 where both front indicators may be white and both rear indicators red

I'm sure you can get clear casing where just the actual bulb determines the colour of the light emiited.
