Okay I got them in. Bought them at Unique Style Racing here: https://www.uniquestyleracings.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1196

My thoughts...the quality is not as good as the clear JDM ones I bought. Seems to be some gaps between the backing and the cover. Hopefully no leaks. Still have the clear JDM's ones in case.

No shavings needed for the bulb area. Looks pretty good other than that.

Will put them on on the weekend.

Took about 15 minutes.
First time ever using Plasti Dip and it was super easy.

Just used one distinctive coat cuz I wanted to make sure you couldn't see the orange at all.
Still shines at night too.

I know this is an older thread. I just installed the smoked side marker from eBay seller bb auto brand: extreme online store. It showed up a day early and installed easy enough. Some slight fitment issues but would probably only notice if your looking for them. I know it needs a wash. I just didn't want to wait before I installed. I got it from eBay.ca

Edit. It had 4 slots in back. Complete plug and play.

I posted this in another thread as well, but to remove wedge type bulbs easier and without picking glass from your fingers, take a piece of tape and stick it to both sides of the bulb leaving a decent loop of tape running over the top of the bulb. Pull the loop and the bulb comes right out without injury or frustration.

Have you had any leaking on the ones from extreme online store?

Sorry I can't remember exactly which seller I got mine from. But I do have some water fogging up my driver's side one. There are currently smoked side markers on ebay.ca for $17cad I just offered less then asking on them and have 2 pairs on the way, vastifire brand I believe. For 17-20cad for a pair I figure why not. Going to install on the girlfriends car and our buddies new hatch. Will see how they fair.

Anyone recommend a smoked side marker that they bought that doesn't leak? Bonus points if it comes with orange led bulbs (or even just orange bulbs in general).

this looks really good, pretty much the exact color i wanted. Would you mind sharing a link to the film color/pn you bought these from?

I got smoked switchback type ones coming in a few days, it's a bit cold right now to be installing hardware lol. Hopefully if it comes Friday, Friday should be warm enough. Gonna be interesting to see how I splice the second wire to the turn signal to make the switchback function tho
