Question Ideas for Side marker replacements???

Hi guys,

I'm missing the plastic covers for the side markers on my fenders (both of them) and before I buy replacements, I wanted to check and see if anyone has come up with something better/cooler than the stock replacements. I've seen the LED side markers on ebay, but they bulge out the same as the stock markers, or they're smoked (which I don't want) or both.

Has anyone come up with a flush mount LED (possibly switchback) solution to this yet?

Thanks!

For some odd reason the w208 didn't get much love..Not a fan of those LEDs, but nothing is wrong with the stock covers. Just my humble opinion.

I'm of the same opinion, but the cost for stock replacements (which look fine to me) is so high that I feel like I should be getting flush mount switchbacks for that price, you know?

Completely understand! I just swapped out my sidemarker in Feb, the gray base was cracking and I had no seal! Got one off fleabay for 12.00 bills, and she's signals like it's 1999( my car yr of course)! Lol
