I bought some aftermarket side markers and the bulbs don't stay in them very well. They've fallen out several times in the 40k miles I've had them.

I had the clear for maybe a year, then went with smoked. Didnt have any issues with either set.

Got these for the same price as non LED. I figured if they went out I could just punch a hole and use a regular LED bulb.

Much nicer. Brings the car out from a dated look for sure.

Those look pretty nice. I might just have to grab a set of the smoked version to replace my smoked non-LED ones.
