Talking My first mod to my GS

I know everyone has seen this mod over and over again but I just wanted to post my before/after shot of my new side markers. Very easy mod and I think it looks so much nicer than the stock orange.

I got Polarg M4 bulbs in there now. They are blue with the lights off, but bright white when they are on.

Sorry to say, but i think those aftermarket Side marker as uglee as Fukc... To me it looks like some piece of cheap clear plastic thing hanginh on your bumper that are made in taiwan. Those cheap looking side marker only suits ricer Honda's car. You have a lexus man. Is okay if you like it and think they are nice, just not my taste. I'm not flamming on anyone.. juss my opinions.

it ain't the best but for sure it isn't the worst. small things like that don't hurt anyways. under-chassis lights or hood lights is deserving of major flames, but that's chump change and keeps him happy.

when i got my body kit, i left off the side marker completely, but others who have the cleared side said the piece can be a very high-quality item, depending on where you get it.

Bravo261 - I agree with you! Personally, I wish there wasn't a side marker on the front bumper! I have the clear markers on my car and would never switch back to those ugly stock orange pieces! That's for sure! The quality of my side markers looked just as good as my stock ones, but it's all good! No flame intented here...just my 2 cents

Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. They can really clean up the look of a car or alternately, remind me of a cheap-modded civic. I suppose it depends on the color of the car. I know I don't like the blue bulb, however. Ya know, if clear lights weren't so played out, I think we'd all love em on our GS's.

they look good in my opinion. only reason i haven't changed out mine (yellow fogs too) is that when i'm driving at night, there is no doubt to other driver's what kind of car i'm in (at least those that matter).
