I'm feeling the stock red, but this is pretty tight.
Galing.

Red REFLECTOR only applies to the REAR. It's a federal (FMVSS statute) law. Lights to the SIDE must ILLUMINATE (in the rear) either red or amber - lens color is unimportant. Side illumination to the front must ILLUMINATE either white (clear) or amber - again, lens color is unimportant.

Sure, you may GET a ticket, but GETTING a citation doesn't mean you actually are in the wrong - gee - go figure - a cop could be wrong - (it's the courts job, not the officers to determine guilt). If you get a ticket, fight it, it's not illegal. No big deal.

Cool Mod, I really wish we had "Pick and Pull" junk yards neer where I live, but the F*$#&^g Insurance companies have ruined that for us. You can find a lot of stuff when you have no idea what you are looking for.

I did a lot of work on my cars when I lived in FL and was free to roam the junkyard on a Saturday. Wait, roaming the Junkyard looking for ideas and parts isn't acceptable social behavor? Those were great days!

-slightly smaller than stock (3.5"x1") but looks like a nice match to the front sidemarkers,,, do you think they'll work?

Could you not just use the same side markers as what is on the front of the xB? I haven't taken off the rear markers yet so I don't know if there is a big hole or not back there? Any one know? If not I wonder how much the fronts would cost?
Just my .2$

That is a nice and simple mod and I hate to poop on the parade, but: it is illegal.

Side marker lights (and reflex reflectors) at the rear sides have to be both red.

I think you are trying to read between the lines when there is nothing there to read. The law says the color of the LIGHT (!!), not the color of the lens. You should probably know that there are several OEM models that come equipped with clear LENS side markers, but illuminate in either red or amber - which is perfectly legal under federal law.
