LED bulbs with tinted side markers
I installed some tinted side markers on my car and was planning of picking up some LED light from aznoptics, has anyone done this? I really want to see how it'll look with the LED bulbs cuz it looks pretty s*****y right now with the stocks. Pictures anyone?

think mulac has. I'd opted for a set of euro impact strips from gary, they're like 45 for a set, cleans up the front IMHO.

Well here is a pic of mine. They aren't tinted but they are clear. It would just be a touch darker because of the tint. The tint isn't too dark is it? So here is a night pic of mine. I hope I gives you some sort of idea.

Yea I know the impact strips would look pretty clean and I do plan on gettin them in the future but I'm just waiting to get my roof spoiler first so I can have both of them painted at the same time, for now I'm pretty satisfy with the tinted side marker at least it looks good in the day time

Thanks for the pic! Yea the tinted side markers aren't that dark since I can still see the stock bulb pretty clearly and I know that the led will make it look better if the bulb is that much brighter

I have tinted side markers and I also have the 194led lights aznoptics sells, I tried it on my tinted side markers, imo they looked like crap, cause the leds are very strong so the orange reflector under the tint showed up yellow and focused at one spot.

The thing is that I didn't tint my orange ones, i bought the pre tinted ones off ebay so I don't think I'll have that problem since there isn't a orange under layer
