Default Sidemarkers

I was just wondering if the IS300 sidemarkers are the same size as the 2nd Gen GS? I was looking on ebay for clear ones and saw that they were listed under the same category.

Do you guys have pictures of your clear sidemarkers? I would especially like to see how they look on a white GS.

Also, do you change out the bulbs as well? If so, what would match the OEM HID color temp?

For those of you who have white GS's with clear sidemarkers, what bulb did you use? I have stock HID bulbs and fog lights, so should I match the sidemarkers with the headlights or the foglights, or just leave them amber? Please post pics if possible!! Thanks.

well I didnt have a white GS but I did have clear markers.

I used 194 White LED bulbs for my marker lights and I made them match my running lights in the highbeam housings. which I also put 194 LED's in.

Would they be the same as these bulbs? I have the ones that match perfectly with the OEM hids.

simplied, i know which ones your linking to (although pics arent visible to me) if the sidemarker takes a 194 bulb then yes they are the same, if not no!

btw...this is micheal's post #47 (although i have tried 3 computers and STILL cannot see the pics anymore.)

^^ That's too blue. They just don't flow well with head/fog lights. Go with a white color.
