Lol. Sorry you don't like it but I'm pretty sure it will be on ALL trims. I thought it would be nice if they light up...unique.

 

[jwhollan]

I like it personally.

 

[jbweb7]

I actually like it, but agree that it would be better if it had an LED feature.

 

[hikitty22]

LED maybe but nahh Looks weird

 

[damtachoa]

I actually like it if it's LED.

It's not. Doesn't light up at all.

My guess: someone in China is already working on it....

Maybe a dealer mentioned somewhere on this site that there is no room to even out LED's under the lens.

Leave it to the Chinese..... oh yeah, mmmh, very few have driven this car over here, some are still playing with the seats, but there are enterprising individuals that have already taken the markers apart and know for sure??? It's possible, but really?
I suspect to do it properly, a hole may have to be drilled behind the reflector for a lead, but other than that, LEDs may be doable. We'll see.
First we have to get our hands on the cars...

Its a really easy delete , 3M make Auto vinyl in a huge range of colors , I've deleted the rear "reflectors on all my car for years using body color vinyl , very easy to apply AND remove , Im planing on doing this to both the rear side refectors and those in the rear diffuser ......................

I agree with @hikitty22 - I DO NOT LIKE 'EM! I won't get a light colored Stinger because of these things. I like the idea of a 3M delete. @westcoastGT I hope you'll be kind enough to put up a "how to" with any information you'd like to divulge. Not so much because it'll be difficult to do - but because the IDEA is great and knowing where to buy exactly what's needed in a little "how to" would probably make a lot of people happy...

University of Youtube has tons of vids showing vinyl installs , the material is very flexible ( you can wrap auto mirrors with it ! ) just a little heat via a hair dryer or heat gun is all thats needed and then trim excess with an exacto blade .

Reflectors and markers are probably there for legal (and safety) reasons rather than a designer's whim of fancy....just saying.

Heres a wrapped mirror using carbon vinyl ............................

You are completely right .....................if you cover or delete them you are technically putting the car out of legal spec

Unfortunately, In Australia I think it is a legal requirement. Part 6
