Default Side Marker Light Tints

Hello all!

I've been thinking of little things I can do to my X and saw many people suggest tinting or replacing the yellow markers on the car. If anyone has advice, vendors, instructions on how to get this process moving that would be great. I know I read in a few forums about this, but nothing seemed to provide all the information. I don't know which markers everyone is actually speaking of, where to buy, how much, and so on. Any response is much appreciated, and I'll be sure to help out where I can. Thanks!

The front and rear marker lights, the ones right behind the bumpers that are orange on the front / side and the rear most markers are the ones everyone talks about. You can get clears for the center ones but the front and back are not available in the after-market. So people get vinyl to cover them. But if you do you have to delete the bulb or the vinyl will over heat and look like crap. I'm thinking of doing it but using LED lights to keep down the heat.

i hate VHT nightshades...i put it on a test tail light and it looked great till it dried, then it started cracking and splittling..

best option in my opinion is vinyl tint. its cheap and easy to use.
