Any of you guys have installed side markers like the BMWs and acuras have? I was thinking about adding some Ferrari Side markers to mine if you guys havent seen them they look something like this.

what do you guys think? Nah yeah maybe? pictures of anybodywho has them would be appreciated.

I believe the European market cars have them.

I added the amber rear markers just to set my AE apart.

Drop the sidemarks and the crack pipe and step away from the car

My car goes back to UK this year and its a legal requirement in Europe

Here's mine:



Easy enough to do. Just wire in series with the DRL/turn signal circuit.

On reflection I think I should probably have gone with an oval amber light to match the rear marker.

One UK member went with a concealed fit which meets the rules but is hidden in the gills.

i dont like em on cars that dont come with them. and IMO vettes shouldnt come with them. but, im a huge fan of turn signal mirrors like those on the caddy DTS and trucks.....the ones u cant see unless they are on. that is a huge deal IMO and wished someone made them for the vette world.
