... probably the wrong way to do this, but it worked! (Clear Side Markers 2005 ZX5)

The ones pictured here have no reflectors in them, but there ones that caught my interest which were made by a different company, and the lenses were made out of reflectors, just like the OE ones, but were made in clear white.

The rear surface of the lamp reflects superbright actually. I was trying to push the lamp in and accidentally shone my flashlight light into it and caught a blast of 5w LED reflection in the face...

Does the law require a front surface reflector, or just a reflective surface?

EDIT: They reflect in a different way, but not a surface reflector. FML. I'll find some kind of solution to this.
EDIT #2: The solution was to buy these instead. Frak. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...MEWAX%3AIT

EDIT: #3: Canadian tire sells silver reflective circles. My car is silver. EPIC WIN??!
