Default led side markers

I bought a set of leds off ebay and I ordered the wrong bulbs. Now I have these and not sure what to do with them. I'm hoping that maybe they will work in the side markers. Hopefully someone will chime in and let me know.

Ebay number is 331103206282

Thanks in advance

The description says they are 50w bulbs but I'm not sure about all that I'm hoping someone with led knowledge can tell me if they'll work or not. I know they'll fit but will it mess anything up (wires....etc...)

Hey.

Wrong bulb type. You need either the side-firing flank type:

Or, the 360 degree type:

The ones you pictured will no play nice where they will be installed.

Thanks. I guess I'll post them up for sale in the 09-14 section I was kinda hoping they would work the thought of having all projectors in the front was nice but back to the drawing board. I have a set of 360 ones laying around also. Is there a specific reason why they wouldn't work? To high of a wattage? Or is it because of the projectors?

The bulbs install pointing forward. Hence, they are the completely wrong beam pattern for a 2004-2008 front sidemarker application.

You need output directed to the sides for best visibility. Flanks are optimum.

BTW - no way those bulbs you posted are 50w ...chinglish junk, lol.
