Hey everyone....i need opinions on a new set of LED sidemarkers. I did a search and saw all kind of options...i was about to order the LED Sidemarker lights from bimmian.com but then i saw some comments about poor quality on the forum.
these are the ones im considering: http://www.bimmian.com/60/LSL/
What im looking for are some super bright LED sidemarker lights that are smoked....but i want them to be good quality....not the cheesy ones on ebay. hopefully the housing will contain a multi-directional set-up like the bimminan ones but something that wont suffer from condensation (one common complaint about the bimmian option).
any thoughts or recommendations?
also, where the hell can i get a set of those murdered out emblems for the hood and trunk....i saw them and im in love.....they would look KILLER on my matte black set up (under construction)...

I got smoked side markers from Trinity and they are pretty bright IMO. It has 4 LED bulbs contrary to the older 2 LED bulbs. I think they are regular LEDs and unsure how bright of LEDs you're looking for. Nerwyll could chime in perhaps...
Had them for a year - no issue. I go thru a car wash every weekend and never did it fall off nor did moisture get in. Been happy with them thus far. Good luck on your search!
And your ride is awesome.

I'm interested also Nerwyll! I bought some off of ebay and they are a joke. Waste of money after a year they look like crap. Nerwyll, can you post a pic of your smoked ones? Or maybe a member post a pic for us? I tooo love the look of the Bimmian ones, but am skeptical of the condensation as well. Any help is appreciated!

I just smoked my OEM sidemarker lights and it doesn't look clean enough. I want that clean crisp look you get from having the black dye in the plastic itself. But this has been good feedback so far. I think I'll just order the ones from bimmian tonight...
What about these murdered out badges tho??
