Any flickering during startup or while running from the cold and warm bulb checks? The LED ones I have now do it and I'd rather just change to a better set than code the checks out...

I too have the Delta-Optic sidemarkers--they're pretty nice. Not as bright as I would like, but I've moved from just a LED fiend to LED builder in the past few months, so I'm gonna see what I can do about that!
But in terms of looks, both when on and off, these trump the other plug-and play solution that has a few SMT LEDs firing off in different angles. |

So I rushed home today to put these bad boys on. I was able to get some pics with my phone and DSLR camera. Just as it's getting dark enough to get some action shots and video it started to rain again. I can't win!
I'm uploading them to my computer now so hopefully I at least got a few that are worth posting. I am very happy with the way they look and installation was a breeze with the exception of getting off the white piece that holds the existing amber bulb. I will post a pic of what I mean and how to get around that. Stay tuned!

I ended up getting some decent shots tonight. The videos I took not so much. Maybe tomorrow night if I have time. Also no luck with any clear shots with the blinker on. Couldn't get my cam to focus right in the little time I had before it started to rain again.

One of these days I'll cross-link my flashlight collection/builds...it's become a little obscene! But being on sabbatical (so to speak) with the flashlight community has definitely given me the tools and knowledge to do more over here...so I hope to make up for my lack of recent posting with some really good stuff over the Summer! |

Mounting very flush. At least so far I will be getting the car washed tomorrow or day after. The weather right now here in Chicago is kinda cold so have been delaying it but oh well I guess this weekend it is due so will let you know if any water has seeped in. Doesn't look like it will though.

These triangle shaped ones with LED's look great.
I smoked my OEM sidemarkers with VHT but it came out really blotchy up close. I might try to snag these. How's the fitment on them guys? |

Installed these just 2 hours ago. I can post pics but looks like some have already posted; mine look exactly the same but smoked.
Thus far, I like these bad boys! Fitment = nice and snug. OEM like! I have 2 small gripes: 1. installing them took a few extra minutes and only because I had to adjust the metal piece. Once installed, the sidemarker was nice and tight. 2. I haven't had a chance to really see how bright they are but so far, I would have wished it was brighter. However, I definitely prefer the arrow look it has. So if you're looking for the brightest, IMO, these aren't it. If you want something new, and different, these are for you. Either way, I'm happy with them. |
