I haven't done any research on this yet - figured I'd ask you guys since a lot of you have done it already. Thanks!!
I got the clear JDM OEM Toyota branded sidemarkers from Nigel @ $100 shipped. Used amber Sylvania #194 bulbs from Walmart (better price than AZone) and ambers are barely visible when turned off.

Agree w/jimbobrand....these appear to be a good alternative:

Ditto...and if you do get those, pls post up some close up shots of the clear housings including the rear side showing the mounting clips. The OEM units are known to be a bit delicate and the plastic around one of the spring clips will break if the unit is forced out incorrectly. Could be these are better than the OEMs ??? inquiring minds need to know!!!
