has anyone bought any of the side markers from ebay? I'm looking at these and was wondering if anyone had any feedback as to how they fit and how far they stick out

I have ones that look like the first one. i got them from a website but they stick out like an inch from the car and although they look good from afar, up close they look kind of goofy.

 

yeah i was actually just looking at them yesterday i think im gonna get a pair they look pretty sick.

 

i was looking at these the other day

I have purchased from that seller before, and the quality was great. And they were really good cust service too. I don't know for sure about the side markers, but I would expect they would be like OEM quality. Hope this helps your decision at all.

 

I have the third one (bottom link) - looks great, and has OEM fitment. I painted the top dome of the bulb silver so that the orange wouldn't show through, and it looks perfectly clear when the bulbs aren't flashing. They still flash bright amber though. They literally look like a clear version of the OEM markers and are well worth the money. The others look kinda cheesy IMO.

 

^ yup i bought the same ones. They look awesome. I dunno if the brand varies with that seller but mine are HELLA. Really nice quality and perfect fitment.

 

Oh and sorry, I had only looked at the first link, and I thought they were all from the same seller. So I don't have experience with the second two. But in my opinion, for looks I would say go with the 2nd or 3rd. Personally, I would go with the 2nd to match my smoked tails. However if I still had my stock lights I would run the 3rd set. But I think regardless of which ones you choose, size and fitment will be almost exactly stock, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

 

I have smoked tails, but chrome-housing Depo headlights with Depo clear corners, and the sidemarkers blend very well with them.

 

I bought the smoked ones and have had them in for over a year. They look much better than the stock amber ones. The side markers pop right out easily with a flat head screwdriver or something, cut the wires and solder them to the new ones and they'll push right back in. I recommend them.

 

hmm, I was originally gonna get the smoked ones because i thought it would blend with my color better (hibiscus red). but since I have the chrome door trim and the euro headlights and stock tails im thinking the third one might look better, though once i get tint maybe ill wish i got the smoked ones. Ill figure it out, I mainly just wanted to know about the fitment because the ones i got looked funny sticking out so far. thanks for the input everyone.

if anyone has the first ones let me know, i like those the best but because they have that extra part that covers up the bulb im guessing they have to stick out an inch from the car like mine do.
