Default side marker lite replacement

I want to change my amber side marker lights on my 03 XKR to clear. Does anybody know where to buy them. I looked on Ebay but the ones I saw were not oval like the ones on the car. I watched Rev Sam's video regarding this and the clear ones he had were the oval ones. If Rev Sam sees this post please let me know where you got yours.

Default Clear lens procurement.

Hi, I just bought some from this guy named Chris , email is member@cbrueton.fsnet.co.uk
I bought four clear for the front and rear and 2 repeaters for the sides. already installed, easy stuff!

I bought the new complete fixture so they are more pricey than just buying the clear lens, I did not want to mess with breaking old lens off and possibly damaging the fixture and being left with no fixture.

Ok another thing is I bought all four, but since doing it I decided to not do the red rears, so I know have 2 clear fixtures left over. I felt like the front is clear and the rear is red is the correct appearance. The fronts have clear bulbs and the repeaters have yellow bulbs. Below are the prices Chris gave me for new fixtures delivered. Also if you get the new ones they take a bit longer because he orders new fixtures from Jaguar and does the work of changing over the clear lenses. Also I wanted new fixtures, so if later on there was a problem with clear lenses with the law I still have old yellow to replace.
Hope this helps. Chris was honest and straight shooter although a little slow, just do not expect in a week, more like 3 or 4 weeks with shipping .
Good luck,
Mitchell

email from Chris :
REFLECTORS - £130 per set of 4, supplied with 4 clear bulbs, 2 amber bulbs and 2 red bulbs (you can fit what you want), postage is £10 so total is £140.
SIDE INDICATORS - sold a lot of these to people in the USA so th wiring must be on the cars - £19 per pair, fitted with amber flashing bulbs, postage is £5 so total is £24.
I will supply all the above to you at a discounted price inclusive of postage and insurance of £145.
If you wish to proceed let me know and I can send a Paypal invoice.
Regards, Chris.

Mina sells the turn signal in clear and smoke color:
Jaguar XKR XK8 Clear of Smoked Side Marker Lights (pair) for Jaguar XK8 XKR

Or there are these from XKZ in the UK that are a fair bit cheaper:
Jaguar XK8, XKR Clear Side Indicators, set of 2 | eBay
