i'm looking to purchase clear front and rear side markers. procarparts seems to have these for nearly 1/2 price of anywhere else. any experience w/ this company and product?

also, "legally" do i need to place red bulbs in the rear side marker and the amber bulbs in the front side?

thanks...

 

Procarparts is good. Get them from CustomMaxima.com, they are cheaper.

Legally? Depends on your state laws.

Dixit

 

In California you do. I used LED 194's in them. Many other ORG members have them too. Leftcoast was the first ORG member I saw in person that had them, and I got them right away. I love them ! They look great at night ! I got them on Ebay !

 

I got mine from procarparts, Everything was fine, but it did take a little long for them to arrive. Other than that i have no complaints.

 

Custommaxima seems to have the best price. Currently I'm following some EBay auctions, trying to get a better deal that way.

 

custommaxima.com has em a couple dollars cheaper but the shipping kiks you in the a$$ also my first set i got from procarparts took wayyyy to long to ship, when i ordered them through custommaxima they were at my house in a few days

 

dammmmmmmm dixit....your car is ...its...dang...i'm at a loss for words


as as for procarparts...i have many words and none of them are nice!!
I won the front and the rear clears from them on ebay and paid via paypal....they REFUSED to ship to my confirmed address because my city does not match the zip (according to them) despite me sending them another penny to reconfirm my confirmed address...they still would not ship. Then when I told them to cancel my order they had the NERVE to say that they would charge me a 10% restock fee for lights that had NEVER friggin shipped. I then of course immediately reported them to paypal and ebay and got all of my money back

if you buy from them and if they ship...enjoy your lites for me...my lights are stayin stock

 

i've been looking into getting clear side markers but had the same question about the legal side of things ...anyone know what the regulations are for nyc cars?

 

Well you could always do what some members do and just get clears for the front and leave the factory reds in the back. I have yet to find a led/bulb that looks red enough to not look pink.

 

got mine from custommaxima.com... remember there a HOW-TOO @ www.5thgenmaximas.com ....I highly recommend you buy the clear weather silicone as stated & put it on the clear markers before installing them

 

I should be getting mine some time these week from
custommax. I didn't know anything about the weather silicone.
Can you give me the 411.

Thankx.




Peace

 

Make sure you take your time sealing them, because even tho I did, I still have some moisture. I have to take them off and do it again

 

yeah, after driving to atlanta, my side markers were wicked moist inside, it ****ed me off and I used the sillycone crap too I do highly recomend it though!

 

Should we use the silicone for both the front and rears? Someone told me that only the rears need it because the wobble. But the whole idea of using the silicone is to keep moisture out right?

 

I tried LED's and wasn't fond of them. I switched to the Polarg xenon's all the way around and I like it much better.....

 

i used them on front and rear just in case and yes it is to keep moisture out of the lenses. they just arent as good as quality as factory ones. never thought id say that.

 

Yeah for the moisture, I'd use it on the front and back. I found they both got moist.

 

WERE CAN I GET THE SILICONE? AUTOPARTS STORE.


peace

 

or Autozone or advanced auto parts.

 

Thankx Man.

Peace

 

just any tube of silicone? or is there a specific type?

 

its a clear silicone. the bottle of the one i bought was mainly white. you should also be able to use the silicone they use for sealing windshields, those two are pretty much the same.

 

thanks

 

any problems removing the side markers later to change the bulb after the initial silicone has been put on?

 

I was wondering the same.
