Best side markers - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I got these from ft86speedfactory: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/heli...e-markers.html.
Bought some orange bulbs (194) from O'Reilly's and some silicon sealant from Home Depot, and sealed up the edges before installing them. I haven't had any trouble with leaks or anything, or trouble from the police.

I have the helix smoked on currently and have major issues with leaking on drivers side. It has ruined 2 bulbs, corroded the socket and is currently filled halfway with water. Will be replacing this week with Avest [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Marker-Smoked-Signal-Toyota-Subaru/dp/B00XTOZ7GQ"]Amazon.com: LED Side Marker Smoked Black Lens Amber Turn Signal and DRL White For Scion FR-S Toyota 86 Subaru BRZ: Automotive[/ame]

I think regardless of what I get I will be sealing them. Seems like it would be best to play it safe.

I think the ebay options will have to do, but I am still curious if an amber bulb will be enough with a smoked housing or if I should go with led.

Just installed the Avest. Seem very well made and fit perfectly.

Do you have it set to flash with your turn signals or left it alone?

geezerbrzeezer · 05-03-2016, 02:54 AM

No flash.

Yeah those look sweet.

I ended up going with the flush look from the spec-d version. Im comfortable modifying them if necessary. I decided to just try an amber bulb then upgrade if necessary to LEDS

Helix, definitely not the "best".

They suffice tho.

I bought these on eBay and put the DD amber turn signals. We will see if they leak, but I did transfer the felt from the original markers.

Sorry, I thought you were being silly rather than taking yourself overly seriously.

I also had the helix smoked ones, got them replaced with the actual real "jdm" toyota ones and noticed with the helix there was a lot of discoloration and water marks on the diode dynamics bulb and water marking on the inside of the housing. Definitely not worth it.
