LED Side Markers??

Anyone have any recommendations for LED side markers? I already have the clear side markers with amber bulbs. I already checked out the eBay LED bulbs, but they are not so good.

I already have the LED headlights, tail lights, 3rd brake lights and license plate lights. Just missing the side markers.

TIA

Another alternative to consider would be using "Stealth Bulbs" which are silver colored when off and light up amber when on. With the clear sidemarkers they are not noticeable and give a full clear look. The challenge with LED bulbs that fit into that housing is that you want an wide angle of light to simulate a halogen bulb so it lights up the marker completely.

I use LEDs in my sidemarkers. They look and work great.

Horrible. Look way too knock off.

We need Hella ones with LED bulbs.

Thats what I thought. Let me know what you get.

I like these ones, but they are only for the 997 and half the price.

Probably Hella OEM clear replacements (mine are cracked etc) and LED replacement bulbs: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...b-install.html

But I'd like to find orange bulbs.

Okay, so I took a gamble and ordered these side markers in clear. I know these look horrible in the pictures, but I called and talked to the guy and he said they were made in Germany. I figured these would look good in real and quality should be good. They cost me $94 ($66 + $28 Shipping).

I also ordered these Amber/Clear LED Bulbs for the side markers since I figured they would look clear when turned off and amber when on.

I also looked at the following 2 types of side markers. The first one looks good, but I prefer the ones I got (more subtle look). The second one looks like something you would put on a truck. Both are being shipped from Taiwan and I wasnt sure how the quality would be like.

Lets see how they look when I get them.
