Now, I could still use a little help. These new side markers are a bit loose on my car. The original ones were a tad loose; but these are much looser, almost to the point where you can pull them off the car quite easily. So, I was wondering if 1) anyone else had this problem, and 2) if they did, what did they go to fix it?

Cheers! M2

Garm are these plug and play???

I installed these and love 'em. Here's a few pics. The connector on the right is the connector on your smoked leds'. It needs to plug into the connector on the left which is from the wiring harness inside the fender well. You'll have to slightly modify your connector on the smoked led lights. I used a dremmel tool to cut away the shroud exposing the pins. and they plugged right in to the wiring harness connector. I used some electrical tape to hold them together. Remember there is polarity here.

Are those the smoked or clear?? They look great!

I just stripped the two wires, removed both harnesses, and taped it all together -- still working fine after a few months, only took 10 minutes per side.

I'm still waiting for someone to install some BMW sidemarkers... a popular mod in Japan.

cali yaris · 01-17-2009, 04:29 PM

that would be cool. I can also get Silvia side markers, which would rock!

*kimona* · 01-17-2009, 04:45 PM

Yup, the Sylvia side markers would be very cool!

Kioshi · 01-19-2009, 09:21 PM

Jerkratt, you should be the tester for those BMW side markers. It'd be perfect w/ your black setup ^_^. I'm waiting for those too.

Jerkratt · 01-19-2009, 10:40 PM

I would have to try it again.. it was years ago when I tried it with these new (same style posted) BMW side clears.

kou · 01-20-2009, 05:05 PM

to gap is big and they don't snap in place. tried already.

Kioshi · 01-21-2009, 02:03 AM

Can you take a pic of, if possible? I might be able to work around it if the gap is just a streak on the upper top of bottom half of the bmw side marker...

Nonetheless, i'll see what Jerkratt comes up with~
