Got into a discussion with an Audi guy yesterday and wanted to verify something with you guys..... Were the clear side markers ever availble from the factory on US spec cars or have they only been available as an after-market mod?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm pretty certain they are an aftermarket mod b/c of USDOT regulation they are SUPPOSED to be orange. But I sure do love my clears
If you go to Europe or most of the ROW you'll see P cars with clear side markers. US and some other countries require like Dell says amber sides. I got stopped for having clears on my car about a year ago and went back to ambers. Now I put the clears back on about two months ago. They just look better. jim
The p-car dealer gave me an A6 as a loaner and it had clear side markers.
My mercedes has clear side markers but I think the difference is that turn signal markers can be clear but parking lights/reflectors have to be amber.
