Question Sidemarkers- Yes/No?

Thinking about putting orange side markers on my ABP. You guys think this is too rice or might look ok? Nothing big, just small size ones on the front end.

I like the new BMW 3 series SideMarkers. Kinda of an upsided down elongated triangle. Very clean.

I havent cleared out my headlights (keeping them the way they are) so I will put the orange sidemarker on it.

Hum...I guess it's every individual's opinion. I have hyperwhite side markers on my SSM TL-S and I personally love them. Got some compliments on the streets too...not from ricers though. I will post pics soon.

That does look pretty good... and it's functional... and the changes in aerodynamics have the effect of adding 5 HP!!!

Hey BlackShadow, do your side markers blink alternately with the stock signals? I acutually have side markers for the front and back. When I have the parking lights on, the front side markers blink alternately with the signal lights and the back side markers blink in sync with the stock signals. But when the parking lights are off, all lights blink at the same time. I think they look cool.

axleback, yes my sidemarkers blink alternately with the stock signals. It is on and stays on when I turn on the parking lights.

BTW, you have sidemarkers in the back? Please post some pics cause I want to see how it looks in the back.

Sure, but I want to Zaino my car first before posting any pics. It looks dirty as hell right now. I'm getting mixed opinions on the rear sidemarkers though. Everybody seems to like the front but because the rear ones stick out (as opposed to like the Maxima or Accord, where they have stock sidemarkers that's flush to the bumper), some of my friends didn't like it that much. But at night, they look awesome. When the parking lights are on, the front sidemarkers stay on and the rear ones only come on when I signal.
