Default Flat Side Marker

Has anyone installed these and if so how do you like them? Was the installation difficult? It calls for the use of a dremel tool and was wondering what for? Thanks.

Fine if you want them for the ‘flat’ look, but do you really need some more badging on the car?
could not give them to me for free!

Might be cool without the emblem.

The Dremel tool is used to widen the hole in the body where the LED sits, in order to allow the etched emblem to be completely illuminated. I have these. It's a very subtle mod that most people don't see right away, and usually ask if they are stock. I opted not to take a dremel to the body in case I ever sold the car and the new owner wanted to remove them. You can also get them without the etching, and leave the LED out.

using a dremel to widen the lamp hole would light the entire emblem more evenly.

They look pretty nice. I like the selection in styles too.

I have the ones from West Coast Corvette, theyre just tinted black with no logo, much cleaner IMO
Also im not sure why you would need to dremel or cut anything? I just removed my OEM ones and these got 3M double sided taped into place
