Default Any Arctic White with painted Oracle side markers?

Curious about how well this looks. Anyone have this combo? If so, any pics?

There have been multiple threads on Oracle LED side markers but I've never seen the painted versions in Arctic White. Mostly of the darker colors like black and gray. So those who have them know who they are.

However, below is a pic of the Oracle side markers. I'm just trying to see them in the Arctic White painted option.

Default Arctic White Oracle Set

Installed mine about a month ago but had issues and removed them.

They do not sit flush as OEM and may require sanding. In my case, the rears were terrible and hanged out further than the fronts.

I also experienced another issue which I'm guessing is electrical as after the install my memory side mirrors did not work as intended.






(A bit dirty, sorry! - Also daytime picture!)

Thanks for the pics. Sorry to hear about the fitment issues as I thought they were fixed.

I have the Watkins painted ones ....The fronts snapped in like butter, the rear fitment was terrible and took me about an hour with course sandpaper and a nail file just to get reasonable.

I'm surprised that the manufacturer hasn't come up with a permanent fix. It sounds like from what I've read, all they really need to do is adjust the rear molds to fit better instead of having owners have to sandpaper down the clips.
