As for best quality:

HIGHLY RECOMMEND the oem ones, I've gone through 3 sets of the verus and helix side-markers all getting replaced by 86speed (formerly fteightysix) after finding moisture on my diode dynamics LEDS, which led them to failure. This ended up as a fiasco, I had to not only warranty my LEDs but also the side-markers within 3-4 months of each other all in the span of a year. The aftermarket does not do a good job of sealing their stuff as well as the OEM material ones, and I highly regret not spending the $100 originally to get the JDM glass ones. Also I lost clips on the non-oem ones and they would fall out on there own during install somehow, the oem one kept there clips no issues. Also they feel noticeably higher quality in your hand and have this felt like line running along the side and top that make it sit better in the fender it seems. I've had them now since 2016 with 0 issues and no leaking or moisture present inside the side-markers.

Also install tip, night before the install, dab some super glue into the spots where the clips go into the side-marker. This totally reduces the risk of them popping out the next time you take your bumper out and remove the side-marker. Key point here is night before so the glue has time to set and you don't end up gluing the side-marker to the car

The JDM OEM side markers are better-looking than aftermarket.

Be sure you use AMBER bulbs in the clear side markers, not only to stay legal, but also to be kind to the people beside and behind you who don't want to ride along having their night vision impaired from a white lamp. The bulbs are not expensive, and they make no difference in appearance during the day when you can actually see the side marker lenses, so there's no excuse for using white bulbs with clear lenses.

To add to this, I have amber bulbs from Diode Dynamics and the base is yellow in a way that shows through the side marker. Just wrap the base in white electrical tape before installing and the bulb disappears.

@extrashaky - the led whites look much better.

Op- JDM factory ones get another vote here.

Depending on where you are white side markers may as well be neon signs saying "pull me over here is your excuse".

Only to people who didn't know any better when they bought them and now feel like they need an excuse to keep being an asshole to other drivers.

Or ones who knew how great it would look.

I had aftermarket clear side markers. Just as posted above, they were leaking and clips were falling. I decided that the orange side markers were not that bad after all and switched back to original. Yeah, they are just fine.
