Oracle sidemarkers?

I just got my Oracle sidemarkers from AAC. Has anyone had a problem with color match up? I ordered Summit White but they have a dull yellow hint to them. Not the bright clean white like my car. Doesn't look like it will match up good. Anyone else have this issue? Is the color off a little?

My color was right but they applied the paint too heavy so the LEDs dont shine through. I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

Yeah LEDs look fine but the white is a dull color with a yellow tone. I placed up next to my car and it looks bad. Looks like primer waiting to be painted. Waiting to hear back too. Will call them again tomorrow.

I think it's an acceptable match - white is tough - the bumpers of your car are probably an off-white / yellow tint as well you may not have noticed. It's the nature of the material with a white paint.

I feel like mine are in between. Not as yellow as the bumpers but not as white as the doors. But acceptable and not noticeable.

If you're not happy though I'm sure Oracle will help you out - they are usually pretty good with this kind of stuff.

It sounds like your not concerned with yellow - just dull. Mine are not dull - they are bright and glossy. No problems there.

I guess it's both. The dull I think I could live with but the yellow no. We held it up at different places along car in different lights and it's obviously different. I hope. I am waiting to hear back from them.

I post pics from my iPhone using the Photobucket app. Btw, I sent back two sets of led side markers from AAC due to poor quality. They told me they couldn't do any better, so I ordered from Showstopper and have been happy ever since.

Wow, I am preparing to get the summit white ghosted so this REALLY concerns me. I will look into the showstoppers now.

Bummer, hope AAC takes care of you on this.

Was it the paint color or led's? I know lots of people have loved theirs. Hoping to hear from them today. I will look into that app. I hate not being able to use my iPad ir iPhone. When you try to attach the choose files are grayed out so I will look into that and see if that works thx

There was trash in the paint and the LED's were not straight. Looking back, they actually sent me three sets.

Mine were free of bits - I saw some old posts that complained of this so I had my eye out for it. I ordered mine a month or two ago.
