Review on 🚦 iJDMTOY JDM Clear Lens White LED Bulb Front Side Marker Light Kit 2016-21 Honda Civic Sedan/Coupe/Hatchback, OEM Amber Sidemarker Lamp Replacement by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Smooth and clean. Fits perfectly to the headlight housing.

I can honestly say these page markers hold up really well. I bought these for my 2019 Honda Civic because I didn't like the orange ones that originally came with the car. I like that although they are smoky, they are transparent and you can see the light from the bulb. I've installed them on two cars so far - for example, my car had an accident because someone hit me, so I had to look for another one later. Luckily neither the side markers nor the bulbs were broken in the accident and I was able to remove them to fit my new car (another 2019 Civic). Installation was fairly easy for both machines. I had a little problem with the left side of my old car. It was tight and I couldn't twist the bulb to lock it in place. Fixed it with some lube. The second machine had the right side a bit tight to screw in the bulb, but I managed to get it in without any lubrication; it just took a little more strength. I will say that once fitted they also have a bit of wiggle room - for example if you touch them they move a bit as they don't fit in the car's snug frame. However, it's minimal, and not only are the blocks flush with the wing, they're not loose enough to fall out. I just mentioned it as something to keep in mind, but I don't really care. I had no problems with that. The bulbs that came with the side markers work fine - they may not be the brightest and I know others have said they have replaced them with other brands. I left them because they are by no means boring and I think they work well overall. I've had it for about 6 months now and haven't had any problems with it. Do I expect them to last? Not necessarily, but they get the job done without spending extra money on amber lightbulbs. Before I bought them, I saw several reviews of water or condensation getting inside the case. Before installing them in my first car, I checked that they were properly locked. I ran water around the seals and let it lick for a while just to make sure they were ok. Then I blew into the hole to see if I could hear the air escaping. I also did this right after the crash to make sure nothing got loose before reinstalling them on another computer. No unit has leaked water or got stuck and there have been many rainy days in the last 6 months. I had no sign of water or condensation inside. All in all I like them very much and I think they are definitely worth the money. They look clean and match the car's headlight housing. I've gotten some compliments on them from random people. It really gives the Civic a different feel and look and I'm glad I made the investment, especially since they survived a car crash.
