Default put on my clear side markers!

ebay is such a good place to get little things like these. bought these for $21 shipped.



i thought the stock bulbs were red and didnt realize after putting them on they lit up white. so i just took a red sharpie and colored in the bulbs, but that didnt even last a few hours xD

does anybody else have these and did you switch them out for red bulbs? do you think the cops would make a big deal out of it if i left them white?

When I bought my smoked corners I ordered red LED's with them... I'm not sure if cops will give you crap for it, but it doesn't look right with a white bulb in there IMO.

I ordered my red LEDs from Stangmods.

By law the fronts are supposed to be amber and the rears are supposed to be red. So yeah... the cops can pull you over and give you a ticket. You can order the stealth bulbs from Stangmods.

Looks good by the way... I've always liked the clear corners look.

I don't know if any of you guys have checked out VLEDS.com ?? They have the brightest leds around. They arn't the cheapest, but they always have some kind of coupons going on. They got 15% off right now and a few weeks ago they had 50% off of everything including HIDS. Plus they stand behind there products... if there's a problem they'll replace it. I got there red marker lights and there like 5 times brighter then stock. lol I also have there license plate light and it's just as bright. I found them when I was looking for some brighter bulbs for my blacked out taillights... and before I tried the ebay ones and they weren't much brighter then stock, but there taillight bulbs are crazy bright. I bought a set of there HIDS for my boyfriends truck when they were 50% off and I got them for 30 bucks and there great! So check them out! Here's the marker lights I got....

i just put my clear corners on as well. I went to autozone and they had red bulbs that worked however they aren't that bright. I already ordered some red leds, they should be here in a couple of days.

When I was considering smoked side markers for my alloy, I also found some bulbs that lit up red on ebay but I never pulled the trigger. I'm still considering clear markers for the g/f's Legend Lime so I may consider red LED's if I see more feedback about the standard red bulbs being inferior.

i went to kragen and picked up a pair of red bulbs for $4. the light does almost have a pinkish hue to it, definitely a lighter red than stock. but im satisfied with it. its not like OMG U HAVE PINK LIGHTS LOL, but it is a lighter shade of red. im sure than leds are the best way to go.
