Just installed these. Good quality.
Also installed amber stage 3 LEDs from DD.
I was going to purchase the tints from AM but these were the same price. I still don't understand how a piece of vinyl is over 20-30 bucks? ridic!

Looks clean, good job! How was the install? I think you have to pull the bumper off right?

Thanks. Install was easy. There are three screws that need to be removed from each side in order to pull the clips off of the bumper. 2x 10mm screws hold the lens in place also.

So much better than tinting it with spray can or sticker.

got links??? those look nice!

I installed the AM tints... for all the lights. But I only did it cause I got them free(long story). Cause I agree, they're way too expensive. On the other hand, they are very good quality and look freaking awesome if done correctly. Also still allow the lights to shine through, and some reflectivity

Thanks! Here are the ones I purchased. I resealed them just in case with clear sealant. Aftermarket enclosures are not as high quality as OEM, this is recommended. They look perfect after rain and wash.
The amber LEDs i purchased from DynamicDiodes are the stage3 version which are 3x brighter, but they are just bright enough. I am completely LED now. I swapped out the rear markers as well.
I am happy with the look.

Defective LEDs from DiodeDynamics

I guess its like hit or miss with LEDs. After several weeks of use with the stage3 amber LEDs from Diode Dynamics, several LEDs will no longer illuminate and others flickering on the way out.
So far…. no help from the company. 3 weeks old.
Im thinking the higher quality, brighter, inexpensive Chinese pair would have been a better deal.

That sucks. Have you tried to contact the Diode Dynamics rep on here? Seemed like he was always on until recently. I have a set of the marker covers but haven't installed them yet.

I attempted. Maybe everyone is still on holiday vacation. I'm looking now for another set.
On another note......has anyone seen a rear pair of sidemarker lenses for our cars?

Thanks! DD finally contacted me and are sending out replacements. It's not the hardest job to replace these, but not the easiest. The bumper has to be in clipped in several positions.
