z1motorsports just got some clear corners in stock after being out of stock due to the earthquake in Japan. I just ordered some. Just a heads up. They seem to sell pretty quickly.

I would shop somewhere else for those. I have a hard time trusting Ebay.

Those vouching for authentic parts only need to chill out.

1. These cost $12. That isn't a lot of money.

2. These are clear corners, not a safety part like brakes or headlights.

3. If this was a replica exhaust part, you'd probably be all over it.

Couldn't agree more!

I've picked up the exact same ones from this seller but the smoked version. Nothing's wrong with them, quality is good, and for the $20 bucks or so I spent I'm not gonna complain.

For those complaining that you can get pulled over because of the led bulbs not being amber, where I live (Ontario, Canada) you are allowed to have your corner lights/sidemarkers flash either white or amber so nothing wrong with the led bulbs they provide.

As I said earlier, the ones I ordered were the cheaper e-bay ones, and I did modify them. But that aside.. the quality seemed fine to me as well.

I have no clue how many, or how few, places these are being produced in though (suppose the quality could vary ). And the quality could even change if you order these lights right now, opposed to, say.. 2 years ago.

If I ordered a pair of OEM ones on e-bay, shipped to Canada it looks to be around $60.00. EVERYONE wants to charge idiotic shipping prices to Canada.

It usually looks like:

Clear corners, $25 + free shipping anywhere in the U.S.
Clear corners, $25 + $20.00 shipping to Canada.
(-just as an example-)

Such a joke... $7-8 worth of shipping for $20.00.


Found a quick example:

Shipped to the U.S. via fedex $6.50
Shipped to Canada I have a $25, or $35 shipping option.
