painted sidemarkers

Does anyone know if someone makes painted sidemarkers for 2010+ mustangs? I'm not into the smoked or cleared look. Just looking for a clean painted lens like the BMW below:

Im not sure if any place does that. But i could be wrong.
the DIY version would be to buy some of the same color of your car and just spray them yourself.
What color car do you have?

this would be a last resort. i'm not super gung-ho over the idea, but if there was a vendor that sold these i'd probably buy them.

Well if dont show light at night then I would say have a body shop paint the ones on the car already.

And hope you don't get a ticket for being illegal. They're federally required. You will not find any vendors making these, for they would be flouting the law and be told to shut it down.

'off road use only' might be their way out, but I doubt that will swing with the feds.

It would look odd because Ford has created a recessed area specifically for the side marker lens. If you were to paint it, I think it would just look strange. Doesn't look bad on the BMW because the side marker is more of an eyesore on the front fascia.

true, it may look odd in the front, but it would go more unnoticed than a sidemarker. in the back it would blend in pretty well.
