Clear rear corner lights?

Just wondering if anyone makes clear corner lights for the rear bumper. I got the ones for the front bumper, but it doesn't look right without clear lights on the rear also. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Lunchbox

so... couldn't find anything, so i made my own . i ended up making a two part silicone mold of the lens, and resin casting it with Alumilite water clear urethane. i chrome painted the original housing for reflectivity, and replaced the clear light bulb with an amber bulb. Still got some sanding and polishing to do, so they should be ready for installation in a few days. oh, and in case you were wondering, the time, money, and headaches from this project are just barely worth the final result

They look good.... the only thing I would suggest is since these are rear markers you use a red bulb or red LED bulbs...

thanks for the thumbs up, and what not. as for the LED's... they're on their way. i tried amber bulbs, and red bulbs, but they both looked like crap. and while i was gettin the red led's for the rear i got ambers for the front. oh, and ballplr, if you want mine i'l give em to ya when i shave the bumper in about a month... cuz i'm never gonna make another set again, ever
