Anybody try VLED side marker lights?

http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...white-led.html

I'm looking at buying one of these for my clear side markers, but it's so hard to tell how each one would look installed.

Anyone try anyone of these?

My whole car, minus the headlights, has vled bulbs. They are awesome. The quality is extremely good and the lights are incredibly bright. Vleds customer service is tremendous as well. Here's a few pics of the side markers for the side markers and rear indicator leds. I have the clear jdm markers. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1396171900.259517.jpg

Why would you want your side markers to be crazy bright. If it was legal I would remove my side markers all together

I'm looking for the right amount of brightness and color to match my headlights.

Can you post the link of the side marker you are using?

Is this the shape of the LED you bought?

Can you post some more headlight level shots from head on and from three quarters to the side? Is the brightness the same from all angles?
