it takes a minor modification... if you're capable enough to attempt to change this light, then you should be capable enough to make the minor trim...
now, if all you are capable of is to drive the car, by all means, go to the dealer, pay the price for the Aston part, pay the dealership labor and mark ups...
many on this site are true enthusiasts who like to work on their own cars...
I do work on my car. I have no idea where you’re coming from on that one. Haha
Scuderia has the actual OEM part for $30 that doesn’t need modification. If that’s too much money for you I suggest you sell the car for a Honda.
Be aware that the SuperbrightLED bulbs are about 1.5 mm longer than OEM, and that the OEM side markers are built with poor tolerances. How do I know this? This summer I set about replacing the bulbs with LEDs: they J U S T fit on one side but on the other the bulb hit the inside of the lens, preventing the assembly from sealing flush with the fender. As I pushed and twisted to try and seal the light, the same part you show in your picture popped off. Hard to believe that the OEM markers had that much of a difference in length from one side to the other, but there you have it.
How does Scuderiaparts pricing compare to Astonmartinbits? I think Astonmartinbits you have to pay VAT and may take longer.
You can opt out of paying VAT by selecting "international" sale when you ask for the final quote. Astonmartinbits will remove the VAT tax for shipments to USA. The exchange rate will effect your purchase price based on your payment method. If you order, triple check what's in your basket. They do have a minimum shipping fee to be considered. They have a helpful staff.

here's the bulbs i c used... actually smaller than oem
glows amber
That looks different from what I got (which was the recommended bulb for a V12V on the SuperbrightLEDs website).
I don't suppose you have a part number or specific website link?
sorry..sorry it was c years ago... they were leftovers from when I changed out bulbs and turn signals on my Porsche (went from amber turn signals to clear )
i had several left over that i tried and these c worked great
Hey everyone. So I finally received the side repeater from Scuderiaparts. I was able to change it by turning my wheel to the very outward position and didn’t have to remove the wheel at all. There is a t27 torx screw at the very bottom and one right behind the wheel. There is a regular Phillips screw in the bottom corner. Once these three screws are removed, I was able to pull out the black liner and get my hand behind to change the side repeater. Once I loosened the t27 torx screw with the torx wrench, I was able to take off the screw using just my fingers. Putting it back was another story. The torx screw was a bit stubborn and I had to give it a few hard turns. To my surprised, the piece that the torx screw attaches to inside the bumper came off. I doubt there is a way to attach it back. I think the screw is stripped as it won’t go back in.
