Side Marker Assembly LED replacements?

Went to change the bulbs out in my oval side markers and the clear caps came off the white "pans" (one of which crumbled to pieces).
Guess the Florida sun finally baked them to death.

So, I'm looking for WHITE or LED replacements.

All I see are Amber.

Anyone know where i can get something like the picture in the link below
or one without the flag but cross LED's (WHITE Leds)

Thanks,
T

Hi Blwnaway....

I was really looking for white LED's rather than Amber but I'm assuming I could switch them out pretty easily(?)

How much for the ones you have?

Thanks so much for the info

I'm not sure, but I believe the side marker lights must be amber. Either the lens must be amber or the lights themselves.

I have an 06 JCW cabriolet and when someone backed into the front and I had to have some body work done, I bought some Justa side light grill things (the black ones) and had them painted body color and then used the white/clear lenses that came with the S grills and kept the amber bulbs inside.

Pix here:

Click on one of the thumbnails, then click again on the larger photo for an even larger one you can zoom in on.

It's sort of a stealthy look. Unless someone is noticing the other clues like the red calipers and JCW exhaust tips, some might think it's a "Justa".

I don't think anyone makes something like the links you've posted but with white LEDs instead.

You're probably going to just have to replace the bulb with a white LED bulb. I would go with THESE.

I have the amber version and they are very bright. This is hands down the best company to buy LED bulbs from and the only company I would ever consider buying from.
