Do all cars have sidemarkers? No. Would removing the side markers and replacing it with body make the car less safe? They don't really serve a purpose, the only time the light is visible would be at night. And at that time of day your headlights should be on and the rear lights should be clearly visible. You have black sidemarkers on your car so in essence it blends right in as if there were no sidemarkers. Only time they would be visible is at night regardless of light color. Red vs hyper white color on a sidemarker as a car passes is dangerous? How about the HID headlights that face cars head on into car driven by elderly people who can't see as well.

by law, all cars must have pieces that light up and reflect when viewed from the side (amber front and red rear)

some are part of headlight and or tails...ours are separate

I've never been pulled over for my lights. And I live by a big military base and cops are everywhere, and usually pull over for small things. I have 8led hyper white sidemarkers.

instead of arguing that its legal, you guys need to just admit that you realize its illegal and decide to do it regardless.

my car is a 2000 and I have the oem GLE tails, but they are ugly. I just wanted something different and I got a good deal on 02' tails. I could always paint my GLE lights to look SE, but I just thought the 02' tails might look neat as I explained. My Max is black like yours, so I know that the SE tails would look nice. I am just looking for something to spend some time on.

This was very easy to do. Like some others here, I left the lenses out all together and used the silvania silverstar chrome bulbs that light up amber. Looks really clean to me!

Do u know anyone else who sells the sealed beams which replace the front flashers? I live in Montreal and went to Home Depot here but they do not carry that part. I showed a sales guy there the part number and all and he seemed a bit lost. I mean we were in the right section but they did not carry that part. I am so dissapointed!!

Yo Are those actual smoked sidemarkers... they look like they have a slight white to it. The ones on Ebay says smoked but they look darker than yours. Where did you get those?
