looks clean.

Is that a universal side marker? Or off some car?

How much was the installation around?

I would go for signal...absolutely. How did you install and wire the siglal lights? I have been wanting to do that to the RX forever. Suggestions on how to go about getting a light pair? Also, what do you do when the bulbs (assuminly LED's) go bad.

Since these side markers are for BMW 5series, I think you should able to buy it through BMW dealer, and the side marker I got came with the light bulb, BMW dealer should have that light bulb for replacement.

to install this side marker, you do have to cut a pretty big hole, think twice before install it. after install it, just hook up two wires to the original signal wires on the car.

gwu128, that is exactly what I thought. The cutting...ow...that is why I have not yet pursued the side markers. I could just hear the RX screaming when it goes under for surgery. They have them on the Harrier. I'll just go without for now - I'll just look at is as one less obsticle for polishing/waxing.
