I have my STI side markers and wedge bulbs sitting in my passenger seat, prepared to install tonight, hopefully.

i got my led side markers for $80 shipped. why pay so much?

When did you purchase yours? Because at the time of my post they weren't being carried by that many people for less than mid-$90's. I've had mine since early this year and only just now seen other vendors on here carrying them and selling them for cheap.

Don't get me started on the fact that I paid $800 for my rear diffuser then it dropped $200 6 months after I ordered and my BRZ finally arrived. Now you can get the replica for $100. It's just the nature of the beast when you want to be an early adopter.

Most FT-86 owners know this since we ARE the early adopters. hahaha

Edit: Just looked at my post date. January of this year, dude. Come on, give me SOME credit and slack! haha

Dam good DIY, might have to try this one

Anaxilus · 09-30-2013, 03:17 PM

Anyone have a link for a good deal on the clears? Smoke seems more readily available.

dlidkea · 11-10-2013, 09:36 PM

Hey Chanomatik,
I just swapped my side marker bulbs for LED's like yours but it seems now my DRL's won't come on.

Any ideas? Anyone have similar issues?

Derrick · 11-14-2013, 01:21 PM

anyone know what those black clips are called that is holding the wheel cover

Canehda · 11-16-2013, 05:14 PM

If the side marker clips in no problem, but is still loose have I then warped the bracket? My passenger side marker came off no problem and although the drivers side came off pretty quick as well I feel like i forced it a bit more… The passenger side is nice and snug though thankfully…

mfbmike · 11-17-2013, 04:14 AM

Will be using this DIY to install mine in the next few days. Is sticking with the stock bulbs with the clear sidemarker going to look bad? lol. I guess we'll see as I didn't pick up new bulbs.
@nigel-jdmparts is selling them at a group buy price of 85$ shipped at the moment. Pretty good deal for legit sidemarkers.

Myv · 11-24-2013, 05:01 PM

Stupid plastic screw thing won't come out, I'm rotating it and it just stays in place non stop doesn't seem to want to notch out, the other 3 comes out easy though =/ will try another time it's too cold outside.

The LEDs have a positive and negative side. If they're in backwards, it will cause your DRLs not to function. Try flipping each around until your DRLs work again.

how many pounds of force would you say you push to get the new markers to "click" into place?

everytime I push, the whole bumper pushes in too. it feels like i'm going to snap the front bumper off.

and to make matters worse, the metal piece that gets clicked into also moves when I push in.
