It's ok. I'm not sure about the "M" log and the chrome strip.

They kinda look like something you would spear fish with...

Aside from that they seem too large to look good. The M looks a little tacky...almost looks like it was stuck on as an after thought. And the shape of the illuminated part itself does not flow with the lines of the car.

Someone else recently posted aftermarket side markers like these ... I'm not liking the spear or the size of the sidemarker; looks like it belongs on the side of an Escalade or some other hyper-large vehicle to complement the other bling!
