Clear side markers question

I purchased and received clear side markers from Custome Maxima last week. When they arrived, I noticed that the front markers had the orange lights and the device to connect the light to the marker housing included, where as the rear marker did not. Has anyone ordered both front and rear markers and only received the lights and connection devices for the front marker?

Yes, but I purchased from a different supplier (I received the ambers but no red bulbs).

Yeah, that's how CM does it. They're pretty clear that that is what you are recieving. For the front you pop your old bulb housing out of the socket and stick you new bulp housing in its place. For the rear (if you want red light, which you do unless you LIKE getting pulled over by cops), you buy two red bulbs (I got them from CM if I remember, I just don't remember the part #) and put just the bulb in the rear bulb housing.

Or just buy another set of amber bulbs and put those in the rear corners. I did that, and I feel it looks better having all the corners lit up in amber than having just the fronts amber and rears pink (almost all red bulbs turn out pink - tried that, didnt like it at all). I highly doubt cops will trouble you if you have amber bulbs all around, since they're not blue or white (like the ricers, which is basically what cops look for)

LED bulbs look a lot better (not pink) and last longer.
