LED side markers suggestion?

I bought some LED some markers a bit over a year ago, that have failed. I think the company that made them is no longer around. Any suggestions for replacements? I think Oracle makes some, anyone else?

Diode Dynamics

Just came from a shop to talk about new wheels and the discussion wandered when he started to talking about showing at SEMA. I mentioned that the $400 for the Oracle set was a lot compared to the Diode Dynamics for ~$160 and he said that, although true, the quality and length of life was also extremely different. So, from a guy who knows more than I do, you now have his recommendation.

We have been selling the Diode Dynamics bulbs since they came out in June 2017 and have had very few failures in almost 2 years. Diode also has a great warranty so if your the one in a hundred you will be taken care of for 3 years.

I ordered these a couple months ago. So far so good.
I like these because I'm not seeing the LED board through them.
Tinted very well.

I bought Diode Dynamics and have no problems. Price was way better than Oracle too! JWM sells a good set too. He had some issues a while ago but got them resolved.

Diode Dynamics. I have the smoked ones, and in teh daytime against my black car they match perfectly. Night they look wicked with the leds. I have had them 2 years, and had a led go out in 1. I emailed them, they got one right out to me, couldnt ask for better customer service.

No. I am lucky that the ‘17’s exhaust didn’t hang in the way enough to keep from getting to the reflector screw. It’s tight but definitely doable. Took about 15 minutes total for both sides. Well worth it too. IMO it cleans the rear up and compliments the the side markers / dark taillights / and dark 3rd brake lights.
