JDM question check it

Hey kinda retarted/ not important question but wondering why the clear corners are labeled as "JDM". Is it just for the style? Or is it that way in japan? I just ordered a new pair, one of mine broke unfortunately and on the site they were called jdm clear corners. all it is, is a clear version of the side marker? still sorta a newbie so bear with me ahha

the clear ones were only available in japan which technically makes it "JDM"

I have been to Japan and all the side markers are amber there also. It does seem that European cars often have clear corners.

Japanese models come with clear corners, so the japanese guys get amber lenses. Our cars come with amber corners, so we get clears. the grass is always greener...

Japanese cars do not come with clear corners! Check the japanese Nissan site.

I don't think they do. I haven't seen the clears in a brochure, or any marketing. I've only seen them as "JDM" from vendors.

It's a good question. Why does it come in a Nissan box from japan if it isn't put on the japanese spec skyline's from the factory? Does Nissan Japan offer 2 different styles for enthusiasts? If it Skyline comes with the ambers out there and the G35 comes with the ambers here??? then how are these factory?? Maybe they are knock offs like Folex or Foakley. Maybe somebody in Japan made a mold and started packaging them in Nissan packages. Anyone have a real answer to this that isn't pure speculation???

They have legit part numbers, so they are really Nissan parts. Probably just a fashion thing, like gold emblems. I'm pretty sure you can even order at US dealerships.
