got my clear/white side markers in the Coupe and looks great! I was worry about the fit/finish that some have reported but no problem at all...the fit is about as good as OEM if not better! I got them from timtim2002 on ebay for about $25+$7 shipping (yeah shipping is STILL high but still cheaper overall compare to many others). I have not had chance to take pics yet b/c its raining in Houston for past 2-3 days but will do so. Packaging, communication, and shipping was excellent!

Hey,, nice price on the Sidemarkers.. I got it for about the same price too as u did. mine looks nice too but with some weird gaping but I'm taking care of that tomorrow at my work. Did u leave the bulb in there incadescent or are you going to change it to a brighter bulb?

Standard 194 bulb... 194A (amber) if you live in a state that requires USDOT compliance as part of annual safety inspections... clear 194 optional if you live in Bling Bling land that doesn't have state inspections.

I'm either going to change it out to amber or just disable the light totally (I figure putting a white one in there is illegal as well).

i took the amber bulb and painted it very lightly with silver engine enamal spray paint so during the day its silver, and at night it still lights up orange.
looks good.

I did the same for the turn signals too.
