What bulbs are you using in side markers
Hi guys when I had the orange markers on my car the light seemed to evenly fill across the marker lenses. I put on smoked markers, used the orange bulbs provided to be within spec's but they surely don't fill the lenses like the MB version.
What have you guys done and what colors are they putting out? Any suggestions? Is this a problem with the aftermarket lenses or the bulbs?

PS I think Philly used the original bulbs, and not sure but somone (maybe King) recommended an orange LED.
The European models don't even have side markers?

Hype, I see the bulb type but not a picture with them on, do they fill the whole lense when lite? Or do they just fill partial like the bulbs provided by the vendor?

FTB-Like you mentioned, I tried three different types of bulbs when I swapped out the side markers. I ended up going back with the OEM bulbs w/ clear side markers. They have a warmer hue than my front HID's (which doesnt bother me since they are on the side) but they are much better and whiter than the other aftermarket ones I tried). Hope that helps.
