Default X308 Clear lenses - Buying Opportunity :-)

Hello Community,

Klearz.com are finally thinking of re-doing the clear lenses for the X308. This is the message I recieved this morning from Tina :

**********

Hi,
We are thinking of bringing the x308 lenses back. Would you be interested in a run of ten sets? (10x 4 side markers and 2 turn signals)


Thanks
Tina
Klearz.com


**********


I have already pre-ordered the following :


1 set front turn signals
2 sets side markers (front and rear)

Anybody else interested ?

Cheers

Hi, we are looking at 280 USD for the full set (6 pieces). Possibly 10% discount if we are 10 or 20% if we are 20

Hello Roldano, we are aiming to find ten people who would like the clear lenses.
For VAT dont worry, I will import them in Switzerland and then I can send them back to you

Default Turned yellow

I have Klearz in white.

They turned yellow. Not the lenses but the inside background.

I also have a full set in smoked with black background.

I am going to try to cut the white ones apart and repaint the white background inside that turned yellow.

My .02 is to avoid the white ones.

It's too bad because I really like the white ones on my car the best as they match the repeaters.

I have the smoked & black ones on the car now and have had zero problems with them.

I'd buy another set of white ones if there was a guarantee that they wouldn't turn yellow...

Not looking to drop $350 CAD on white markers that turn yellow. Sorry boys, this is a little too rich for my Canadian blood, I'm out on this one.

PS - Platinum, your ride is 5* mate. Gorgeous

I noticed the yellowing starting after about the first year. They have gotten progressively worse. I had them on the car for about 3 years.
