So I am ready for my first mod. I want to replace the orange side markers with ones that look better against the Lunar Silver metallic paint.

I have seen markers that are Clear and some that are Smoked. I am wondering a) which third-party side marker is the best from a quality standpoint and b) which color most of you prefer specifically against the Lunar Silver.

Are there other color options besides Clear and Smoked? Also, if I go with a clear marker is there a way to put in a clear bulb that glows orange?

Thanks again for any feedback!

That's personal preference. You can find pictures here of Lunar Silver Civics with smoked and clear markers. Take a look and see what you prefer. FYI, overseas the Civic comes with clear side markers so if you buy an OEM set it's going to have the "best" quality. I have a set of smoked side markers on my car. The build qualify feels flimsy compared to OEM but it does the trick for me.

Let me put it another way; which aftermarket set of markers best matches lunar silver metallic? Which one looks like the paint the most?

I have the oem Asia clear ones. I would not go with aftermarket due to leaking issues. I want to install something and then forget the hell about it. Do it once and be done.

Are the ones from iJDMTOY considered good ones that don’t rattle or leak?

On the iJDMTOY versions of the clear markers there is some sort of "bump" or trapezoid of plastic that appears to be protruding.

Am I seeing things or is this the way it is? Aren't the standard Honda orange ones completely flush without this bump-out?

I have the DEPO clear markers with the reflective pattern. I feel like those are a little bit safer than the JDM ones as far as illumination from other drivers' headlights go. I think the clear matches nicely with the headlight color. Never had a problem with leakage, and I've pressure washed the car a good number of times.

Those look very nice. What do you mean about illumination from others drivers headlight’s being a safety concern?

Thanks for the reply.

Do you know if the Japanese version has that 'nub' or are they totally flat?
