Just looking through the feedback. The two people who commented said it was OEM quality and fit. Of course as always buyer beware.
Most aftermarket ones are going to suck. Just smoke them yourself with VHT. |

Fitment will not be perfect.. Have to do some shaving and etc. Only then it will be like 95% fitment.

They look a lot like the WeissLicht side markers which are garbage. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=493865
I bought a pair of Depo smoked markers which are just like OEM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEPO-2006-20...20933154366%26 And replaced the buld with an LED: http://www.highperformancebulbs.com/bmwe9ledsiup.html Last edited by BoostedE90; 03-18-2013 at 03:00 PM.. |

Historically, no aftermarket side marker fits as good as OEM.
Your much better off with a side marker LED upgrade and smoke them yourself. |

Worst.fitment.ever.
First off, they were not even the same side markers as the picture.. much much lighter in color. It took me about 30 seconds to take off my OEM markers and try to slide these in and realize it was definitely not happening, not even close. I'm just going to end up plasti dipping my OEMS. So again, DO NOT BUY THESE! |

LOL! Did you try to shave off the sides where there's like a small fin that prevents from sitting flush to the fender?

I was going to try and do that but wasn't even worth it because it was too long where the 'spring' was and i would have had to shave the fender insert for it to fit in.

Ah that sucks.. Yeah what I did with mine is shave the fins down on the sides and I actually broke off the spring thingy because that was also in the way. Now I have a 95% fitment. I'm pretty happy with mine.

I got them tinted for free by a tint shop while they were doing my windows. They look bomb..you should wrap them or spray them.
