Product Review - Pros/Cons

Pros
- Lights are perfect fit and exactly the same size as the original side moulding.
- No drilling is required, meaning no need to worry about rust or damaging the fender
- Lights up amber for clear visability in any weather plus no hassale from cop since they're legal
- No need to worry about changing blew out bulbs since the LEDs should last
- easy install with wiring hardware included
- car was driven in the rain after installation, no signs of visible leakage or condensation
- Lifetime warranty on the LED's, Z2Autosport will replace entire side marker free should the LED fail.

Cons
- No color options
- Does not come with wiring instructions
- LEDs not changeable "if" it just so happens to stop working(very minor since LEDs usually last)

Overall review
- Looks great during the day with a little added safety since people "beside" you can actually see that you're trying to change lanes or turn and even better at night since it looks so much brighter at night.
- Quality of the product is as close to oem you can possibily get

Suggestions
- More color options
- Include wiring instructions
- Changeable LEDs

Update March 21, 2003!!! After 6 months of use both LED's have stopped working, and minor condensation is visible on one side.
WE NO LONGER RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!
