Is there a way to change the rear side marker of the box and replace it with a clear one?

they don't make them. if you you're handy with latex molds and Castalite you could make your own - would cost ya baout $150 to make the first set though... :) not really worth it.

either that, or change them to something else.

My plan would be to flat out remove them , ugly no matter what the color.

I agree shave em off. I did put white LED bulbs in the front side markers. Looks a lot better. IMO

very perceptive.

Fiberglass doesn't really stick to PP/EP plastic, you'll have to make an entirely new bumper if you want to use 'glass.

And how did you do that? (cut the wires?) There are no bulbs in the rear bumper marker lights. It's a sealed unservicable unit

I'm sure I can find a product other than glass to fill the hole. It's not entirely impossible. BTW you can weld plastic. People weld PVC as well as lots of other plastics all the time. MY bodyshop/paint guy does it.

I know you can weld plastic. I own a plastic welder. Some plastics (Like ABS and PVC) are very easy to weld. Some, like the TSOP (aka PP/E-P) plastic the bumpers and skirts are made from are VERY difficult to weld and make perfectly smooth.

My rear skirt has been welded and refinished. That was the only way to make a one peice OEM rear skirt with two of the molded OEM exhaust cutouts in it. Looks completely stock - welded

I can get it but no quarantee on the quality or fitment.... of it... for the rear. Cuz I get it third hand... and rumor has it the company making it aint the best at it....

I had found some, but were slightly smaller, and kept falling out. They were clear and I had put red bulbs in them. I'll have to see if I still have them at my buddy';s business or if someone else used them for something else..
