LEDs are too directional and i imagine would not light up the whole side marker. try polarg m4s. but like ammi said, you'll get pulled over if a cop sees that your side markers arent the right colors.

I have Polargs in front and back and I've never had cops say anything to me...Even got pulled over at night with my really really bright blinker (Polarg) flashing white when pulling over and they didn't say anything about the lights at all...I see you're from Miami..now I've only been there once, but something is telling me that with the extreme number of modified cars out there you have little to worry about if you decide to do white lights in your sidemarkers

i got PIAA super bright whites wedge 194 bulbs... Miaimi and South florida cops will harass you on anything.. just dont give them a reason to pull you over I.E. Racing or speeding.... they rarely pull you over because of a simple White light.. if they do..they got something against you or they really really bored and looking to write tickets up for commission

Current can only pass through LEDs in one direction, make sure you had them in the right way.
Keep in mind if you do the mod so your clear corner blinks with your turn signal, it won't work during the day (when headlights are off) since current is trying to go the wrong way through it. Of course if you put them in the other way then they won't work at night.
