$60 is pretty steep just for some markers.

Is the blinker as bright as stock? I noticed with Bimmian solaris bulbs, the blinker is about 1/2 as bright, so I tossed them. I know these are LEDs and perhaps brighter, but is visibility of the blinker good from all angles of the car? I'm guessing there is strobing on start-up. My LED bulbs in my side marker strobes.

there are three LEDs inside, but it doesn't appear to be as bright as stock.. then again, I chose the smoked lenses, so maybe thats why... probably not the most important mod to rush out and get, but I had to satisfy the mod itch and everything else I'm eyeing is way more dinero.. hahah..
