WTB: Smoked side fender reflectors.. Need help finding them

Ok, I think I've looked on all the vender links that where listed on the site.

I want the Smoked fender reflectors, NOT the film that makes them smoke. I want to take of the orange ones i have, and replace it with the smoked ones.

Any one know where to get them, I've only seen them on ebay

thanks
melissa

Ebay is the only place I've seen them. I needed to replace a broken clear one and no us vendor stocks them that I could find.

Those are side repeater lenses, not arch reflectors.

I am checking ebay now for these as I would like to get smoke lenses. Does anyone have any pictures? I think the replacement lenses are better option then just the film!

I did mine up with the smoke color from the local hobby shop. $5 and wiped about 10 coats (for darkness) with those triangle foam pieces that chicks use to paint their nails with. Came out great!

Is it a paint that goes ontop of the lenses? How well does it adhere to the lenses?

$41 + $14.95 for shipping = $55.95 = too much considering you can get clear ones much cheaper

Anyone know of any other sources?

I have the smoked ones from eBay.

They are a bit of a PITA to install simply because they reuse the stock self locking nuts.

But no fitment issues, same size and shape.

Melissa, I would reccomend the Outmotoring film-tints. They are made by Lamin-X and hold up really well, plus unlike the Ebay fender lights, they are completely blacked out unless the lights are on of course. I have had mine on for over a year and had no problems as of yet. Plus, they are only $18.95 and take like 10min to install all 4.

From a safety point of view I like the fact that the eBay ones (and stock) are reflectors and therefore help illuminate other drivers to your presence.

With a film you're not going to get any kind of reflection at night.
