Looks good.
Let me know if you get a Side Marker error.
I just installed those same LED and it seemed fine at first, but I got an error on the Left Side Marker the last time I drove the car.

Clear Markers

I installed mine last week and I love how they look. I have had no
problems. Did you change LED bulbs?

Thanks guys. I will check to see if I get an error and let everyone know. Yes, I went with LED bulbs that are clear when off and amber when on.

Yep, I'm getting a left side marker error. Lights are all lit up and no problem that I can see with them.

Dunno if I'm going to just deal with the error or swap them out for different bulbs...

Damn!

You too?
Does your error go away or stay?
Mine went away (for now) but I have not driven it again yet.

Which version did you have?

7W (like mine)
or
11W?

Now I wonder if the 11W might draw more current and avoid the error.

This may sound weird, but sometimes when we remove side lights for clear bra install, my initial startup of the car will show an error signal once they're installed. But, I then flip the turn signals on, and the code goes away. Have you used the turn signals since installing the lights? I'm assuming you have, but figured I'd chime in with my experience.

7W. Was only out for a brief time yesterday and the error remained. I will check again today.

Thank you for this info! Yes, I do believe I used the signals, but will try this today.

Thanks!

Apparently the LED Sizzle and I used gave errors, despite being canbus.
Too bad, as it was a nice looking LED with a wide even pattern.

So far the below LED works fine and all errors are gone.
It is similar to the one Nicoli mentioned (in another post) except this is the amber version (for people who want to stay legal).

http://www.autolumination.com/py24w.htm

8 Led Canbus
9 mm x 29mm overall length
$6.99 ea.

FYI - When inserting it into the socket you can't push it all the way down, so just back it out a bit and then it lights up.
