Help please! Clear side markers on a p5?

Yes, i am in desperate help for my side markers. I wanna clear them out instead of being orange on my new p5. Someone told me a rx7 side marker is an exact fit. Is this true? is this the 93-95 european rx7 side markers...beacuse ebay is sellin them for 50 a pair. Can someone help me before i purchase them. Thank you

the lights on the P-5 just sorta POP off...they have clips that hold them in.....

use the search feature and search on clear corners....or marker lights....or any else you can think to call them and you will find TONS of posts to go through....ONE of them is a HOW TO with pictures and everything.

you got CLEAR side markers for a P-5? not the little ones just in front of the doors that came out on the mid year release.....but the ones in front of the front wheels....THOSE are the side markers I believe that Cornbread is speaking off...and I don't know of any that are made SPECIFICALLY for the Pro5

sorry if it IS the ones by the wheel then sorry no i didnt get them. i get mixed up when somebody just says side markers, i think of the ones up on the FENDER. I have the clear ones on the FENDER if its the ones by the WHEEL then sorry to miss lead anybody.

cornbread....if you will remove the little plastic screw like fasteners from your fender inner skirt and look behind them at the light where it is attached to your fender....I think it will become very clear how to remove the lights.....and yes...those are the ones.

The REAR of the bumper lights are the "sprung" side. The fronts are the static/hard side. If you push the light forward a little bit, and pull it out from the REAR side, it should just pop out. My only concern with the bumper lights on ebay is they may be a bit short height wise... Someone here put celica lights on their P5, and there was a small gap on the bottom.

Also, ... the post states they are the REAR bumper lights, which I don't know if they will fit. If you're willing to be the guinea pig on this one, let us all know how it goes

These should be the correct ones:

RX7 Front Bumper Lights

Do us all a favor if you DO purchase these, ... take pictures of the install? I've been looking for something like this for a while, and didn't want to drop $159 on them. I do like how much "whiter" the OEM ones are, ...
