LED clear front side-markers
I bought these front led clear front side-markers from kevsSC.
Brand new ones cost $315, but I paid only half the retail price.
I can easily tell that these are hand-made, so the quality is very good.
If the list price is a lot lower, I'll definately recommend this mod to you guys.
The installation for the front ones was easy and it only took me like 20 minutes (broke 4 retainers the first try haha).
Compared to the $40 I just paid someone to replace one rear side marker bulb yesterday.
Although I got the instruction from PearlPower, yet the area was too tight for me to reach the bulb plus I was so scared to break the rear bumper.

I think the clear corners look great. I want a set real bad but I was wondering, are those the dual color markers? I can't make up my mind if its worth the extra cash for dual color as I want them just to ditch the yellow off the front and may not even light them up...

You are the first person who has these here. All I do is follow ur steps.
Since that clear corners website couldn't be posted here for some reason, I remember my first question to kevsSc was "Are they the same ones Gsxotic are using now?" haha
This is indeed a deal of the year. That was why I acted very fast when KevsSC had posted it.
Unless you, herragge or me decides to sell these, a deal like this is most unlikely going to happen again.

Thanks man. I've spent a lot of money and time, so it better looks tight. haha
They sell the dual color ones for $420/pair (the same ones herragge has) or you can just buy the same one I and Gsxotic have but with amber LEDs for $315/pair.
- Single function LED configuration is our simplest layout; the OEM incandescent bulb is removed and retrofitted with a single circuit board of white or amber high-intensity LEDs. The side-marker illuminates as a parking lamp and does not have side-signal capabilities.
- Our dual-function LED side-markers typically use white high-intensity LEDs which illuminate with the parking lamps. When the signals are activated, a secondary strip of LEDs illuminate amber in color which enables the side-marker to have side-signal functionality.

I know I know.
Thanks you for letting these go.
I did try your method accessing the bulb from the wheel well and my fingers touched the socket, but I was unable to turn it.
If I tried hard to take off the bulb, I don't know if I could put the socket back.
The rear bumper felt like it started to break if I pushed it out more.
For those who haven't done it yet, the rear quarter panel plus something else realy hard are between the wheel well trim and rear bumper, so the only thing you can push out is bumper.
To gain more room to change the bulb, you need to remove the the first bumper plug on the top, but be extremely careful when you do that. It is a $40 tip form me. haha
I'll still let the mechanic do the rear next time the bulb is out.
I can totally relate myself to how u feel.
If you got these from KevsSC first, I would hate you, too.

I was going to purchase some side markers for my car but it was so expensive..So what i did was just paint the side markers the same color as my car. I think it looks better than having the yellow markers. It's a suggestion for people that dont want to spend that much on clear corners..
