I ordered a set of the ">" shaped LED clear/amber side markers on Saturday. Bought them for $39.25 with free shipping on ebay from a seller in California called bid4speedster. I will post pics and a quick video once I receive and install them.

I got those same ones only smoked and they fit and work great and the way the LED's are setup to almost make a triangle shape looks really cool compared to just 4 bare led's!

Yup, you helped me pull the trigger by posting some pics of yours so thank you by the way! I decided to get the clear ones instead though since I already installed clear reflectors on the bumper. I might completly change my mind in a few months and get painted reflectors and the smoked version of these side markers. I am so dam indecisive sometimes haha.

Guess it is only 40 bucks if you change your mind!

Well, I may have just irritated several people. Just bought the last tinted amber bar markers with 5 people still watching.



They'll probably put another auction up tomorrow.

Please post Fitment pics. I want to know if there is a gap between the light and fender as most do.

I'll do a DIY for the R&R.

I can kill two birds with one shot because someone else wants to see before and after pics of my car with the AE's I have installed.

Just got my set yesterday from the eBay seller and installed them today - they look good right now. Will see how they look once its dark outside later tonight and then will click some pics and upload them.

There doesn't seem to be any gap between the fender and the light housing so doesn't look like any water would seep through. The fit is pretty tight and snug too!

Here are some pics - not the best since it was tough to capture a good pic with the signals blinking but oh well. The lights looks great and the amber is a nice color within the smoked Lens! During the day also it looks really good and blends in with the car color since mine in SMB.

I got mine in the mail today. I paid an extra few bucks for priority shipping because I'm an impatient bastard and it only took 3 business days to get them from Ca to here in Pa. Obviously I really wanted to put them on and take some pics for you guys so you could see the clear/amber look on a BSM e92. However we're basically getting a monsoon right now in the Philly area so that's a no go right now. Should clear up tomorrow so hopefully I can some pics of them installed and maybe even a quick video

LMAO!

Hell, I'm still trying to find out whether or not our front fenders have a drainage plug at the bottom, as I'm super paranoid of water getting in there somehow.

Not sure if a drainage plug will help when your car is floating down your road. It's like the day after tomorrow around here. Just waiting for Jake Gyllenhaal to come save the day! Wait sorry...bad movie reference. I'm probably the one single person that actually saw that god awful movie.

Damn, now I am compelled to see it, just because of this post LOL

I meant for light rain/ water circumstances

I have a (not so) funny story about a 128 m-sport loaner, and an under bridge Frelinghuysen Avenue Newark flood...

You must watch it! Trust me...you will regret every minute of it.

Sounds like the making a great story. Please share sometime
