F10 From Chrome to Black Side Marker Lights (PLATES)

Steve Miller · 09-02-2020, 09:29 PM

In the process of getting rid of all the chrome and replacing it w/ black. The side markers on my 2014 535i M Sport dont have lights, they are just chrome plates. Im looking to replace them with black. I have found some online but when I read the feedback people all complain about fit issues.

Can someone PLEASE recommend and/or provide a link to a good replacement in black? Thanks!

**Perhaps I should just take it off and wrap it? Has anyone done this??**

The ones sold by IND are expensive but I've heard are very good. I'm planning on painting mine myself along with the door handle inserts when the weather gets a cooler.

My black side markers fit like shit. I ended up using Gorilla glue to make them stick.

I wrapped mine and I have the ones with the light in it.

I recently did a plastic dip, and it turned out quite well actually.
