Review on ๐Ÿšฆ GemPro 2-Pack Amber LED Side Marker Turn Signal Lights for BMW - Enhance Visibility and Style! by Danny Flores

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Gives a nice updated look (especially with black color) but with a small flaw.

Fitment OK but not OEM. The problem is that the 2 molded plastic claw hooks are not high enough (long enough) to hook onto the inside edge of the wing. You have to make an effort to squeeze the double foam pad together enough for the hooks to snap, and when they do there isn't much mechanical strength so it doesn't take long for the whole body to pop back out. Using the standard bulb extraction process as a reference, I first tried just the hook function to secure the new blocks and felt it was only a matter of time (and vibration) before the entire body popped out on its own. The solution was to use foam tape to make the installation really solid and secure on the painted panel. As with the OEM case, a single mechanical latch had to hold it securely in place without relying on adhesive. If there was no glue on the foam pad I would send them back. NOTE TO MANUFACTURER: Raising the hook 1/16" (1.6mm) will ensure a more secure fit (and earn more 5-star ratings).
