I know lots of people change their side lights, and I'm thinking of changing mine... I think on my jet black, tinted side lights will look much better than the stock ones. Has anyone tried these from ebay, will they look good with the 5 small leds? any opinion please... LINK

They look nice but I don't know about the quality. You should search the classified for vendors who sell this light. At least you know they stand behind what they sell. Good luck!

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don't buy that, I bought one of those in the past and they suck!!!!!!!!!!! the fitment sucks, it does not lock in right and it gets loose after driving in the freeway!!!
buy the ones from Trinity or Bimmian, those smoked ones looks good too!

Thanks guys... the ones from trinity LINK are only slightly smoked, I wanted something darker... and the ones on bimmian are yellow LED, I think white LED on smoked lenses will look much nicer.
so which ones do you get?

I got the one from Bimmian, smoked ones with amber. They looked ok, IMO after I installed the side marker, I've never really paid much attention to it anymore. It does not do any dramatic change to the car, It's one of those mods that's not really a biggy. GL!

I like the look a lot if you are doing the blackout theme on the car. If you are keeping the chrome bits (front grill and window trim), then stick with silver.
