Default Question about clear turn signals

Are there any differences between the front clear turn signals you get for like $15 off ebay and the ones in the tuner shops that sell for like $85?

thanks, Fyxtion

Not at all, Why dont you see the brand they have and look for the same, or just ask the other memebers what is the best brand.

YES!

Trust me on this one (atleast on the G) the ones I got for 15-20$ ended up fitting,but only after some modifications, even after that, mine, wouldnt stay perfectly in place (There wasnt any way of getting them to "click-in" properly)
After that bull **** I just bit the bullet, and bought the good ones...

Here is the deal. I just got these off ebay and they are perfect. They look great and fit just like the stock ones. Just get these you will like them no problems. Be aware. I didn't jack my Z up when i installed them. I was under the car for like 45 minutes and all the blood wnet to my head and i got all sick. One of those stupid markers was behind the winshield wiper fluid and it was not easy. Have fun and dont give up.

Or you can type in AUTO-DYNASTY and find them under community on Ebay.

I don't get it. Do these light up? Or are they just blacked out reflectors.

I paid $55 for my LED backlight reflectors and I kinda like the ones listed above if they had a consistant backlight.

What the deal? They don't really have any wires so are they lights or are they reflectors?

Here's mine:

I know that the JDM version of the clear lights come with instructions written entirely in Japanese.

Sorry, but $50 is way too much for a pair of side markers. I got mine for $15 off ebay and they look/fit exactly like the "JDM" side markers pictured above.

Be careful with the shipping costs on ebay, the ones liked above cost $15 for shipping, and the markers are marked as $10. Dumb...

As Jason's pictures show...you get what you pay for.

The JDM pieces are VERY high quality and you can be gauranteed they won't leak or get any condensation in them and they will be a perfect fit. Look at the difference in the reflector pattern too. The JDM's are sooooooo much better than those "fake" ones. I'm wondering if the "fake" ones even reflect the light.

those are just reflectors. not sure who's making them.

they dont work well with LEDs, that much I know. as for fitment, no clue. judging by their price, wouldnt be suprised if their was quite a bit of variation from 1 to the next.
