A couple of us on acurazine have changed out the amber LEDs on the front side markers to white LEDs. For some reason they start to blink and go out in a couple weeks.

I'm intrigued by the idea and I hadn't thought about it until I saw his thread. I think they would look great with my LED DRLs and switchbacks. Doesn't sound like there is a reliable method of making it happen though....

These are the USR ones I've had for almost two years. I was the first to order them and they are a direct swap.

Damn, certainly looks nice. Isn't it illegal to have white lights on the back of the car tho?

How much would just two run, you remember?

Nah.

If it was illegal, they would be breaking the law lol

Yea, that's what I was talking about. Apart from the license plate light, I think all lights in the rear half of the car are supposed to be red or amber. But I'm not sure if it would actually be enforced anywhere since it probably hardly comes up anyway.

CL, how close are they USR lights to stock? If I just used fronts from them and left my rear stock, would anyone notice that they are different lenses?

There is a difference.

The USR ones are pretty much DEPO sidemarkers with white LEDs. Therefore, the housing is solid black, unlike the OEM Type-S sidemarkers which are more of a grey color.

Thanks. Guess that rules out just using the fronts. I wonder what the difference is that makes the backs not plug and play.

I think it's because the DEPO rear side markers only have two prongs while the OEM Type-Sagave 3.
