Where can I get black side markers?

[Seth]

*Finally* got around to installing these. They're way nicer than my previous film-covered OEM markers. And for only $42... It's a steal.

Massive upgrade. I need to get this. $42? I’m seeing 60 on the Savage site.

Oh sweet! I actually see another set from iJDMTOY for 34… I might jump on that and see if it’s a good fit. That’s the brand that made the ones I used on my Miata

I have the iJDMTOY markers for about 5 months now and so far so good. Fit is excellent. They all come from China and likely from the same factory.

Just put my tint on last night. It only took me 5 minutes, super easy. View attachment 11372Sorry for the dirty car picture, got caught in rain last night.

Do you have anymore pics? I'm debating doing this to my Infrared and wanted to get a distance/side pic of it

I just got a set plus the ijdmtoy one. Will compare then and keep one

I totally loved mine for the ~14 hours I had them installed until I learned that @Seth paid $8 less than me and now I feel like I got ripped off.

Just installed mine for the 5BW. I had the blackout film on the sidemarker lights before so it still looks the same when the light is off. But clearly, it looks different & better (IMHO) when the light is on.

Mine come in tomorrow for the 4. Any install advice? @DustinEarnhardt and @ anyone else who has installed them

Still can't decide between Amber and White. Does the white have the same color temp as the front DRL and/or headlights? I did black markers with white on my Mustang and it was more dirty white looking than the color of the DRLs.

My car is orange blaze at that, so the white would break that up a bit I think, too.

As you can see in the photos I posted, the color temp is near exact.

• Turn the wheel all the way in to give yourself room to work on the inside of the fender well. (ie, If working on the px side, turn the whelel all the way to the LEFT.)
• (at least on the 5BW), starting from the bottom of the fender liner, remove 4 of the screws holding the fender liner in. The screws take a T15 torx.
• peel away the fender liner from the edge of the fender with a plastic gapping tool. A screwdriver will also work but gotta be careful with the paint on the edge of the fender.
• Now this is the tricky part: The light is held in at the top by a clip & the bottom is held in by a little tab that sticks down further than the edge of the light. (Red circles.) Gotta squeeze the clip together as you push the top of the light OUT (not IN)
• The wires for the light are very, very short so do not attempt to pull the light out any further than the wires will allow.
• Once out, disconnect the harness by inserting a small screwdriver into the retainer to release the safety part & then just below that to lift up over the retainer tab. (Blue circle)
• Install by reverse procedure but turn the car on to make sure you've got the harness seated correctly & the light working before pushing the light back into place in the fender.

Hope this helps!

(The light in the photos are the ones I removed but the ones installed are exactly alike in construction but black in color.)

Thanks! It's a little different for the 4. I found another thread on here with instructions. We got excessive bolts and screws in the 4 where clips would have been just fine, making it a bit of a pain in the ass!!! Lmao.

Only did the passenger side today. I'll do the driver's side tomorrow. Maybe.

The second side took like 1/4 the time and 1/100 the headache. I probably should have acquired the correct tools before doing the FIRST side. Oh well…

How To: Remove Front Reflector/Indicator

I removed and tinted my front indicators in January and took some pictures to help others but completely forgot about them until today. Which means I also forgot the screw sizes and a bit about the clip you have to remove. So, all the screw heads are torx and there are 3 different screws...

Read the follow up post from Dustin too. You’ll ideally want a T15 torx with the little finger driver, and a 7mm wrench.

Time to install them this weekend!

I just installed the smoked, amber LED side markers from Savage Cadillac. Boy, what a difference a small change like that can make to the appearance of the car.
