I'm looking to adjust the actual icon within a marker rather than replacing the entire marker with a custom image.

If I'm trying to use a custom .svg file for the 'icon' property, how can i force leaflet (through L.Icon or a similar method) to replace what the white icon is while preserving the actual tear drop shape of the marker?

I just want to use my own icon image instead of calling the MakiMarker api. I am open to adjusting to another library/method compared to L.MakiMarker.

Marker Creation

Below is where I want to pass a custom .svg icon to the icon property.

As you alluded to, you will not be able to substitute your own icon image for one of Maki's since those are being returned from mapbox via their marker API (see here for details). Leaflet MakiMarker is not performing any icon "substitution" but instead offering you leaflet markers based on the Maki icons.

You could grab the default leaflet marker image(it's a pin-drop style if that's what you're looking for) and then modify it with your own icon, save that as an image, and then use that image as specified here: http://leafletjs.com/reference-1.1.0.html#icon
