Review on IJDMTOY Clear Lens Amber LED Side Marker Light Kit Compatible With VW MK4 Jetta GTI R32 Beetle - Upgraded OEM Sidemarker Replacement by Loren Jacobson

I wish I could give these headlights another 0.5 stars because they are almost perfect. My only two complaints are with the plug itself and how the lamps are sold here. The light output itself looks great in daylight. I installed them in less than 5 minutes and they fit perfectly. The fit itself is as close to OEM as I can tell. I could fault that the plastic retaining clip is plastic and not metal like the OEM light, but so far it's holding up. The real complaint is with the flashlight connector itself; it is wide. I could see the plastic on the connector flex when I push it into the old socket. Another reviewer wrote here that you have to use a screwdriver to expand the socket. It's a shame I didn't see this review sooner. Another complaint is that with some images you might think these lights are consistent. You are not. It's a solid light, then it goes off, then it's on, then it goes off. No left-handed right-handed, shooting like a laser beam. Just a solid light. I agree, but it would be better if they were consistent. They otherwise feel solid, definitely look like they're sealed better than the 20 year old units I just replaced and fit snugly. One thing I would like to add to your installation; one side may protrude further (plastic clip side). To correct this, apply direct and strong pressure to the farther out side of the light source. There should be some play before pressing. After applying pressure (light enough not to damage the device) the case itself should be flush like the OEM.
