I haven't seen them either. I don't like them, but if done right they could look pretty good.

I have actually seen those before... along with colored side markers, like green & blue. I'm not sure who sells them.. I think ISP West was selling the colored side markers...

There was a guy, I think in Germany, who made a small number of clear rear lenses.
He had some extras for sale, but I'm not sure if he has anymore. I'll look to see if I can find his info.

wolfman's brother posted an e-mail address and price in that thread.

I think if used on the right car, they would look pretty cool. I remember someone selling a pair on here ages ago, but have never seen a pair in person. I am thinking a silver notch or fasty with clear lenses all way around. I know some of you guys are rolling your eyes, but I have a vision....

Smoke tinted on a black car would be cool....seeing as how they are clear they would lend themselves to all kinds of tinting possibilities....
