Which Side Marker is better?

[Stanv03]

Hello everyone, I’m looking to get some smoked Side markers to match my smoked euros on my 2020 GT. And im looking on AM because I have some credit available to use. But I wanted to ask. Out of these 3, which one is best? Which one is the brightest? What do yall recommend (Diode Dynamic/Morimotos/Raxiom)?

I have the Diode Dynamics and love them. I'd be concerned quality of the LEDs in the Raxiom -- you get what you pay for -- given the low price. I don't have any experience with Morimoto.

I have the Raxiom clear ones and I have no complaints. Pretty bright at night and less conspicuous during the day.

I have the raxiom smoked. They’re all the same thing. They’re nice and bright and cheap. I ordered the diode and the raxiom and compared them and then sent the diodes back.

I have the smoked Diode Dynamics going on 3 years now with no issues…I’m happy with them.

I like that the Morimotos have two LED rows instead of 1.

That’s what caught my attention too. But I also have diode dynamics interior lighting and fog lights and they’re good quality and their customer service is pretty good. Which is why I had them in mind. And then raxiom, well the price caught my attention on that lol

Had my DiodeDynamics smoked side markers on for almost 2 years and they are great. They blend perfectly with the side graphics and are quite bright.

They look good, the smoke looks good on your color!

After failed aftermarket LED markers I reinstalled OEM marker assemblies, and replaced the incandescents with LED's, and then applied smoke film (window film) over the lens. Once adhered I used a sharp craft knife to trim around the perimeter. To ensure no red showed, I set the assemblies face down and painted the perimeter/backside with flat black paint.

Actually I learned my lesson from this ordeal...don't discard OEM parts on something that may fail. (I had to purchase an inexpensive OEM replacement set off eBay.)

Here's a pic of the finished marker lights with smoke film. And yes, the red marker light is visible in darkness...and in sunlight (at a slightly lesser degree because of the film of course).

Nice touch on the red calipers

+1 for Diode. Great quality and easy install

garbage. I had the diode Dyn since I have had a lot of their stuff in the past. Lasted about a year before one side was completely dead. Now have the Raxioms, have had them for a few years now and one of them is starting to fail. One LED does not light up all the time and then it does sometimes. While LED's are so amazing, I don't think these units are sealed enough for the conditions they are exposed to or something.

If I get to the point of replacing them a 3rd time, I might just go the route StanV mentioned.

I have the Diode smoked. One lost a few LEDs after a year and they replaced it quickly with no hassle. Both have been working perfectly since 2019.

Installed these in April 2023 and they are still going strong.. just saying. (they actually look and work ok) Thought at $22 they'd be worth a punt.
