Suggestions for quality smoked sidemarkers

I just got a 2013 scion fr-s and not very car savvy so I am trying to do simple cosmetic mods. All I can seem to find is stuff on amazon with bad or not so great reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...LZ32CBQY&psc=1

I like these but I want to replace the stock lights with leds. Are these worth it and where can I find some bright led bulbs for them.

Also I was looking for a brighter led kit for the dome, license, and trunk light.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
I'd look at these.
They are less expensive too.

I just painted my stock markers the color of my car.

Just a word of warning.
Location does play a huge amount on if you will be ticketed, but the markers (the lens/plastic itself, not just the bulb) must be amber.

No if's and's or buts.
Federal law.

You are correct, markers "shall be amber"




Turn signals and front parking lights can be white or amber though.
