OK I know this may seem stupid to some of you but I have an issue. My car came with what you would call "smoked" aftermarket (TYC) headlights and corner lights. It's a faint smoke, but it's definitely not "clear" like OEM. I accidentally broke the passenger corner light, and after looking everywhere I cannot find a replacement. The part number on the light seems to correspond with plain clear lenses now. Even Googling "marauder smoked lights" returns NOTHING.
Can anybody point me to where I could find a replacement? Or do I have to buy a whole new set of headlights and corner lights in OEM clear? I kind of liked the light smoke look! Help!
And no, I do not want to use the tint sprays. I'd rather go back to OEM clear then do that hack on my headlights.

As I recall the headlight lens are clear. It's the black surround inside the lens that was Marauder specific, Grand Marquis had chrome insides. The taillights were lightly smoked from Mercury.

They're aftermarket lights with smoked lenses. I'm trying to find an exact replacement for the front right corner light.

One method may be to look at the intact front left corner light and look for the manufacturer's name and part number. Every OEM and aftermarket light assembly I've run across has a name / number somewhere on the assembly. It's either on the lens itself, usually on the bottom right or the back of the assembly or on a piece of tape on the cord that is used to plug it in. You may also want to post up-close pics of the intact light assembly to see if any members here recognize it.

eBay, Amazon all have marauder headlights and marker/corner lights. Marauder headlights have the black inside bezel, Marquis ones are chrome. The corner lights are tinted and easily available.

FWIW, just be aware that some aftermarket corner marker lamps have fitment issues...I don't know which ones off the top of my head, but I do recall there being a thread or two here on the site addressing this issue many years ago.

I did check that. The headlights and corner lights are both TYC and the fit and finish is actually quite good for non-OEM parts. I could SWEAR these have a slight tint on them, but the numbers all correspond to the "clear" OEM-style replacements.
Part #'s:
20-6399 passenger headlamp
20-6400 driver headlamp
(both lenses read 20-6399/20-6400 but the numbers stamped on the inside of the housings read 20-6399"B" and 20-6400"B".
18-5894 driver corner lamp
18-5893 passenger corner lamp
I'll have to take some closer pics but I'm certain these have a factory tint on them. They do not look OEM.

Now I'm starting to wonder. I cannot find a trace of tinted replacements ANYWHERE on the interwebz.
