Ready to race!
Just wanted to share a cheaper alternative compared to the some overpriced side markers. These are Helix brand ( not sure if the same as Helix Depo) that can be purchased for $30 shipped. I decided to go with these because I wanted to go with the “Crystal Clear” look to go with the headlights and foglights, not the traditional cloudy white ones.
For those who are interested, these are available in smoked/dark versions. I literally spent the whole weekend trying to decide which one to get but after a bit of thinking, I convinced myself that the smoked or dark markers would only look good on a black car. For any other color, it will have a look of being “unfinished” or having a hole on the bumper.
Worst case scenario if it does not work out for me is just either Plasti Dip or Color match them. Either way, I will have my stock ones intact.
I have also purchased amber and white LED’s to test out. Since these are not signal lights or blinkers, can we legally use white LED’s to illuminate these?
Here are some pictures for now…more to follow….
