Trying to decide between two smoked side markers

[gtman]

I'm not sure with one of these two to get.

Based on reviews, the Depo one is much higher rated and better fitting but the amber light isn't LED.

The one from iJDMTOY has a brighter amber LED, but the reviews and fit aren't as good.

Any feedback from people that have these installed?

I have the Depo ones, was hesitant to buy Depo branded since I found the same ones non Depo branded for half the price. They fit great and I had some spare 194 leds I used instead of the amber non led that came with them.

No regrets so far well worth the money. EBay has them a couple of dollars cheaper

I have the ijdm one. Unsure how old the reviews are as far as fitment because when I googled a tutorial when I was shopping around it was quite old since you had to file a part off of the product to get perfect fitment. The product I received required no filing and was able to clip it on perfectly with no issues. You can look at my garage for reference photos.

There are definitely differences in terms of styling. If you want the more OEM look I would say get the Depos.

I just recently contributed to a thread about the JDM ones from Amazon. Granted, I got the clear side markers, but beware that I had fitting issues. One of the amber bulbs it came with was too large to fit either marker piece over, and then one of the pieces had a different screw configuration/tilt than what was needed to fit on the car. I literally just returned mine today, even though I initially had the issue way back in December lol.

I ended up with the side markers with LED strips from ProCivic.com.

This is good to know, sorry to had you had a bad experience. To put more information from my previous post I'll say that I got the Smoked side markers with the Amber LED from iJDM.

How bright is the amber LED with the smoked housing at night?
