Side Marker Replacement 2012 550xi

I ordered some gloss black aftermarket front side markers to replace my chrome ones on my 2012 550xi

However- I read somewhere that this might interfere with my Driver/Park assist?

Anyone have any issues with this, didn't know if there were sensors in the markers.

The sensor is located right next to the led marker, I never had any luck finding replacement 550 with park assist side marker anywhere and believe me I've searched everywhere no luck. So you best bet is to remove them and vinly wrap them yourself that's what I did in 3M black gloss . Heres the finishd Product...

Assuming the sensor is where the hole is in your marker?

FYI- I contacted IND and they said they can supply side markers for cars with Park Assist- $135 pair.
