suggestions for LED sidemarkers?

my car is white, but generally I like smoked lights,
my OEM ones look like they are yellowing a bit, and thought about going with some LED ones. any suggestions on any? ECS has ziza and seems like Ebay has tons of choices but I am sure its hit or miss on junk ones
just looking for suggestions.
thanks

It's been sanded so very dull aluminum. You can always just paint them.

Got the same ones thanks to Rob, and yes, they've been on the car about as long as Rob's- and they are flawless.

Hey,

I've been looking at buying these off bimmian.

Did you like the overall look? Does it stick out like a soar thumb or person? Or does it flow nice with the car.... Does it flow better then with the OEM ones that just look dated now.

Thanks!

Jeff

Got the one's from eBay made by Depo and they are great! Super quality build and no water seepage, etc. Have had them through several car washes and they have lasted like a charm. Great buy at around $40 a pair and completely plug and play.

Don't have the link to it now but search eBay for Depo smoked side markers for BMW and tons of listings with different options should come up.

I just don't like the > style of it, wish it was a simple single LED strip

I used VHT niteshades on my OEM and they are starting to look dull

I got HPB amber side markers and used them in the stock housing.

http://www.highperformancebulbs.com/...-upgrades.html

I had Bimmian F10 style ones but the left side marker died just after over a year so was pretty peeved. I do wish I could have smoked stock housings though, the stock clear ones look horrible on a black car.
