Can't find clear side markers anywhere!

Looking for clear side markers (front and rear) or my 2001 i30.....can't find them anywhere! It seems like Paradox Systems used to make them, but they don't any longer. Does anyone have a set lying around, or know of any alternative sources?

I think your S.O.L. That was the only place selling them. Unless, someone has a set to sell.

That really sucks. I don't feel like taking on another minor fabrication job.

Yea it seems the only way to get 'em is from someone and since it seems the I30/I35 isn't as popular now the chances of finding 'em now seem to be very slim.

As I told dna59 via PM, I ended up finding the same guy on eBay that is making them on InfinitiForum. On eBay, his price is $115 a set, which I assume includes housings (but I do not remember exactly what the description said). And on his company site (Klearz) getting just clear lenses costs $60, then it is more to also get housings with them. Not sure if we need just the lenses or if we need the housings with them, but for that much I'll keep my amber markers

Hey guys,

Yes, I have made the molds and can produce the side markers now. I'd like to explain my prices. Most all of the "cheap" side markers you see for sale are made through injection molding in Asia where they can produce thousands of sets per day and the molds never wear out.

I made my side markers by hand right here in North America. I produce silicone molds of the OEM lenses, and then cast them by hand. I can make a maximum of two sets per days. Ther materials are expensive and the molds wear out after about 20-30 castings. This is why my price is usually about double.

The best I can do is a forum discount of $10 per set on these for maxima.org members. Just mention it after you've made your purchase and I will refund the difference back. Just wanted to make explanation so that people don't think that I am trying to get rich ( quite far from it ) as a result of no supply and some demand. One other thing to note is that I custom make each set tailored to the customer's need. I can do light smoke, dark smoke, smoked-red, pewter, clear, blue, orange, vary your housing color, etc to give you the look you are going for on your car.

You'd be looking at a total of $99 including shipping to California via Expedited Mail with a tracking number ( about 7 business days for delivery ). That includes the $10 forum discount. You do need to remove the metal clips from your OEM housings, and slide them into the new housings. Its very easy, takes about about 2 minutes to do and ensures a nice perfect OEM fit.

Hi I am new to this forum I was wondering if the discount applies to Australia I have a 2000 model maxima which was sold as a Infinity i30 in the US. I cant find clear side markers in this shape anywhere over here also does anyone know where to get the clear side indicators for this model. Im happy to pay the larger freight bill but if its going to cost me more then 200 dollars for all 4 markers I might be saving for awhile. Cheers From down under!!!
