not my cup of tea but they do match the chrome led, though. change the amber to clear would be that much better .

I agree that they don't look right. Maybe look mo- betta on the Luxo model.

Good attempt, but I agree to really complete the effect you need clear markers.

And get some HID Xenon's on that bad boy!

Totally agreed with changing from amber to white would be perfect, but the car is on leasing and I can't do any obvious changes. I just want to trim down that enormous amber side marker by this modifiication. Thanks you guys for all comments.

Just switch them back at lease-end.

I have some used clear ones just sitting around..(from my E63 2011)...one is cracked a bit on the corner,
but has not gone through the plastic.........just say the word and PM a mailing address
and they're yours!!!! if you want them........that chrome housing you have may cover the cracked part.....and if they're only temp they could work....

good luck,

your the man Hyperion, that's an offer he shouldn't refuse! Hey in your opinion on a black car: smoked side markers or clear?

i think it depends on the rest of your car. if you have a blackout one like what hype has, go with smoked, tinted or body painted.
