I would have to try it again.. it was years ago when I tried it with these new (same style posted) BMW side clears.

to gap is big and they don't snap in place. tried already.

Kioshi · 01-21-2009, 02:03 AM

Can you take a pic of, if possible? I might be able to work around it if the gap is just a streak on the upper top of bottom half of the bmw side marker...

Nonetheless, i'll see what Jerkratt comes up with~

Are those the smoked or clear?? They look great!

i'm going to them on my sedan but need the diameter of the hole to cut it out

or can anybody trace the hole and send it to me

MadMax · 01-31-2009, 10:31 AM

I just ordered a set from Garm, I so hate those cheap-o stock side markers and think the smoked ones from MicroImage will look so sweet on my Black Sand Pearl HB!

I'll post pics once I get them on!

Cheers! M2
