240 clear tail lights

familyman

I've seen clear tail lights a few times over the years and have wondered where folks get them (and the coloured globes for that matter). I know you can get clear blinker lenses all over the place. But anyone know where to find the clear tail lights?

Bulbs from auto parts store , cheap ones the orange can flake off easily in short period of time , maybe orange LEDs are better bet , get from China direct.

Thanks, but the ones I've seen before are completely clear. They look great. Only ever seen a couple in Australia. One was a cream 240 I believe, on ebay ages ago. It had clear lenses all round, and I assume stealth globes for the blinkers, but who knows what for the stop lights.

familyman

Good idea, thanks. I have the vague recollection that the clear tail lights were from the UK - I think it was mentioned in the ebay car I mentioned above. Have done several searches over the years, but have never been successful.

All clear looking great? Are you sure?

Play nice Alex. Everyone has different tastes :)

You don't find the single red lens in the inner top row kinda - out of place?

I read online these non-oem tail lights are poorly made and leak quite badly. :-(

@familyman are you referring to these?

Or are you after ones where all six lenses are clear? I think I saw photos of one once, but never seen anywhere that sells them.

Estonia - that's it - apparently you have to avoid driving in the rain or they fill up with water, LOL. (Both those ones and the all-clear ones from what I understand.) I think it was on Amazon someone said where they've melted the two halves together, it's a very poor seal.

There's a picture of the all-clear ones here - 4th row down, 2nd picture in:

I've seen the clear top row ones on eBay, sold by that guy who has them made in Estonia.

I prefer the ones LMR sells. They're good quality too.

familyman

Excuse my ignorance - what's LMR?

I don't know what it stands for, but... this:

I also ordered clear tails for a 740 once from these guys and the quality was excellent:

Edit: looks like they don't supply 200-series stuff though.

They don't do 700/900 any more either :(

jamesinc

They do, you just have to be sneaky...
