Anyone try the ebay special? (side markers)

I noticed ebay has the same thing for $20, that the vendors sell for $50-$60. Has anyone tried these yet? I picked up a cheapo set of the fogged ones to try them out. If they look bad, maybe the clear. I figure this part is kinda hard to screw up, and won't hurt anything if its "made in china" birth gives it the usual genetic defects. I bought $45 clear corners for my last car off ebay, they were just as good as the $150 ones from our vendor.

Anyone try these? I think the fogged would look decent on my graphite. The stock reflector looks terrible, draws too much attention.

(They also sell the "turbo sound" exhaust restriction! woohoo)

For the extra $15-20 get a set from Tony or Jason at Riverside Infiniti.

They definetly aren't up to par with the OEM ones, and its easy to pick out ebay specials. Spend the extra couple bucks, you have a $30k+ car and you can't afford a couple bucks extra for the real deal?

I may be interested, what kind of price are we talking? I'm trying the ebay specials for $20, so I can't see spending much more than that, but I'll keep an eye out.

I ordered the smoked ones, but after viewing pictures in the photo gallery, the clear ones blend in better. The smoked ones may look worse than stock. But, for $15, who the F cares? I'll just throw them out if I don't like them.

so you spent 15 bucks on smoked corners that you might not like, and plan to buy new ebay ones for another 15-20 bucks?

that adds up to ~the cost of nissan corners.

I got them, and they look well and fit nice. Near OEM quality, I don't see an issue. Last similar item I got on ebay was near perfect too, maybe a cm off on the mounting hole.

So far, so good. Made in China FTW right now.

I think it's only fair that I post a follow-up here:

They had condensation and corrosion on the inside within a week. It looks all one piece, so I don't even know where it came from.
