It's a subtle mod that's cheap and fairly easy. And looks great. I did the front and rear side markers and the two on the rear bumper. I also purchased the tail light tint kit but I'm not sure I'll install it.
Side Marker Tint

I very much recommend it as soon as you can. I absolutely despise these stupid side marker lights they keep putting on the Charger. I put aftermarket LEDs on my '16 and it immediately looked so much better. Holding out hope that they'll make some LED ones for the '26 model-- the stock part hasn't changed so the old ones fit, but the car is more picky about the voltage of the aftermarket ones I guess.
If anybody sees ones that work on the '26 model please let me know, I'll be buying immediately.
The tint on the side markers is a nice option too, they're so easy to replace that I'll probably just wait personally. Also my two cents: skip the tail light tint. It's dangerous imo and usually doesn't look all that great anyway.
Hope its legal to do that. Later RJD
My understanding is that in the US you are required to have side marker lights, they must be amber in the front and red in the back. The reflectors are not required by any law. As long as there are lights when the car is running, and they are the proper colors, it's perfectly legal.
Now if a cop was to give someone a hard time for having modified side marker lights I would have some very unique words to describe them...
I was a cop for almost 38 years and never had issue with tinted side lights. As long as they light up in the proper colors at night you would be good to go. As an aside , I changed out my 2026 Charger side light already with a set of front and rears, on Amazon (go figure) tinted and LED. Perfect fit, bright and easy to install. No, I didn't make a video but just used their search engine and found them right off. Yes made in China. They light up in a sequence, from one end the other of the light and then stay lit up end to end. Kinda cool looking
Why not just have a tint shop tint them. I did on my Pickup. Later RJD
The reason I bought new was they are much brighter, via a string of LEDs instead of one, and the cost was like $75.00 or so bucks. I suspect tint might scratch easy, maybe a bit to dark and I can't imagine it might not cost the same or more, but I don't know that for sure. Plus I enjoy hands on upgrades. I appreciate your thoughts. Stay safe SV
Actually it's was fairly cheap and you can choose how dark you go and it did not scratch easily. Yours should look nice tho especially with the LED lighting. Later RJD
Anyone find LED side markers that work with the new sixpacks?
I see this is your first post, Welcome to the forum. Would you like to introduce your self and tell us a little bit about you. You can go to the home page and post under introduction. Later RJD
Yes, as I mentioned above, Amazon has them. $65.99, and tinted, full length LEDs. The light fit 2015 to 2026 Charger, 2 and 4 door. Of course made in China. Stay safe
Just bought some. Just wondering if the mounting screw is still a t25 bit.
Thanks!
Yes, as I recall they are the same, but I'd suggest you pre-screw each one in to the new light, before you install them as the screws cut the threads as they go in. This makes them a bit better and easier to install. Also, make sure to pre-fit each one and check that they light up before you close up the inner fender. They are easy to install if you have not done so yet. The tires do not need to be removed , only the front wheels need to be turned left and right to get better clearance to the inner fender panel screws. Stay safe
Nice.... where you ordered from?
