Can someone recommend good LED side markers? I'm not looking to spend a lot, just want basic LEDs. DD has a few different options but I'm not sure which brightness I should go with. Pictures would be helpful

I went with the Diode Dynamics side markers smoked out to match my black accents. I have to say they were worth the price for ease of install, and customer service. The factory ones look like garbage in my opinion. Here is a photo but it's not great. Their website has a ton of good photos.

I have the Vividline smoked LED rear side markers from AM. Very easy install and looks great imo.

I feel like those distract or draw attention. Any examples of just a LED bulb replacement?

Iā€™m also unclear about the distraction. I can promise you nobody is looking at the side of your car while driving. The photos make them look much more pronounced than they are.

I wouldnā€™t call them distracting, but theyā€™re definitely noticeable if youā€™re a ā€œfiner detailsā€ kind of person. I always notice them on other cars because they arenā€™t factory and I have them on my car. Theyā€™re one of my favorite light upgrades as theyā€™re one of the two pairs of lamps that arenā€™t factory LEDā€™s on 15-17 cars

Those look good. Color matched nicely with the tails. Which ones did you buy?

I got the Diode Dynamics with red lenses. I prefer an oem+ look and these look almost identical to factory until you turn them on. The color/brightness match was another thing I really liked. The color and brightness is spot on with the tail lamps. Uniformity something I really like as well, which is why I went with LED front turn signals and these side markers

Thank you. I will be ordering a set of these. I have seen quite a few people with the smoked versions and the color doesn't photograph very well or the tint changes the color of the light emitted.

The smoked look pretty good. I usually like the look of factory lamps or aftermarket lamps that are subtle looking so naturally the red lenses are what I liked the most.

When I bought mine (almost two years ago) I donā€™t think there were any other options that looked like these. I know people have had issues with the DD lamps occasionally but I can say Iā€™ve had zero issues with mine. And whenever Iā€™ve had questions about their products, their customer service has always been top notch

I highly recommend the LED Sidemarkers, I love them!
I went with Diode Dynamics as well. Way better than the stock look! I don't have great pictures on me right now, but these are just some examples!

DD's customer service is also worth paying slightly extra for, let alone the quality of the product.
