REVi Motorwerks DEPO brand on amazon is a good quality one. Fitment is good, no leaks. Imitates a stock one very well in reflective properties.

The bulbs that came with it are cheap though. I would recommend picking up some good long lasting bulbs at an auto parts store.

The Depo housings are good but they only come with amber halogen bulbs. I wound up using amber LEDs instead.

The OEM is perfect

Do you need to cut wires to put the LEDs in ? I don’t want to cut and splice wires

Nope. They're a straight up replacement for the halogens. I use these:

Agree I’m always a keep it stock guy but more and more on this site I see a lot of clear and smoked side markers on members cars and from what I understand I’m just replacing them. And they look better than a
Orange square on the fender

Too bright

Not with the smoked IMO.

I'd recommend getting side markers from Unity Performance. I've looked at the Depo side markers, iJDMtoy side markers, and even did a tint myself. Also the light is LED and looks better compared to the OEM amber bulb. I found that the side marks from Unity was the best in my opinion.

Install was pretty simple, except I had to pull the metal tab out a bit to secure the side marker in place.

Have an old picture of my side tint to compare it to, also ignore the dirt on the side marker

I'm rocking a $25 pair of smoked sidemarkers from ebay with amber LEDs from Amazon that were $10 for a 10 pack of bulbs.. Gives me the look I want for a good price and they haven't failed me yet. Only thing that sucked about the install is the back clip was kind of a pain, but nothing a little coercing with a flathead screwdriver couldn't help

Did all the research, tried a bunch out, these are the best:

I had clear side markers for my LX and had the LED replacement fever. I had crazy bright LEDs in the side markers and people were shielding their eyes from them at red lights, . Needless to say I took them out immediately after I saw that.
