Default Sidemarkers

Hey everyone! I am looking to add on some sidemarkers that light up in replacement of the reflectors that are stock. Anyone have any suggestions or advice of where I can get some. I would prefer the 3 LED ones, but haven't really seen many pics or places to buy them. Any help would be great and I am sure others out there have the same question!

Thanks

I can help you out, my website only lists luxeons at this time, but I do 5mm as well, they run from 21$-33$ for 3 5mm LEDs plus the cost of the reflector.

5mm is the standard LED. Ill post photos of them on in 2 hours, gotta get to my other PC where their at.

5mm refers to the diameter of the dome on the LED.

this pic is of the 5mm but its very inaccurate. I think this might be more of what the luxeon set looks like in person (maybe a little brighter than what it would look like)

Luxeon puts out more light for the surrounding area, a 5mm led has more of a point of light, where you can actually point out the small dots of light that the leds create. Luxeons are one step closer to a normal light bulb(not really) than a 5mm led which is basically a classic led light point.

I think I would be better off with the regular non-luxeon led sidemarkers after hearing all this. Any advice what I should do next as for looking into getting a pair?

Ares can make you whatever you want. I think he likes doing the 3 points of light behind the 3 indents in the reflectors. He can do 5mm leds on them etc. Like he said its 21 or so bucks for both sides to put 3 5mm leds in each side. Plus the cost of the reflector. Or you can supply him your stock ones etc. Talk to him more for details. I just ordered my set of clear w 7 luxeon white leds

Conceyted... is that picture of the 5mm LED using a white bulb or yellow? Looks like a good match.

Ares is making me a set now. yellow 5mm LED with a stock amber reflector, Best match so far he said to the amber strip in the parking lights and the turn signal too.

Looking forward to getting these!

Brian.. sent you a PM. Paypal sent yesterday.

*peeks in*

conceyted is doing good, 100% right thus far.

no photos of the amber luxeon installed, as it is still in my basement, I just made 1 side to see how it would work. came out good, but no one has ever ordered amber with luxeon, so I never made the other side.

Wow, can't wait to see how that will look installed! What's the price for that (minus the cost of the clear reflector)?

EVO-R Concept front LED makes your Z looks just like the sunset orange concept Z. It is a full replacement of original reflector. Comes with 6 5mm LED. White and blue are at 10000 MCD, which is the brightest LED you can get. We have tested and it is water proof. Each set comes with one year full replacement warranty.
