Cheapest place to buy legit JDM side markers?
 
Looking at FT86 speedfactory for $95 and wondering if there are less expensive options.

Just an FYI.
Clear markers are 100% illegal in the US.
The reflector itself must be amber, not just the bulb.

Most places don't care, but be warned.

Just seal them with some silicon before you install them. Never had any issues.

See I don't get US laws.
You can throw in FI, or even swap motors without anybody giving a damn.
However, if your effin' reflector isn't amber you're being illegal as f*ck.

Where I live it's the other way around.:bonk:
Even a simple catback needs certification for it to be street legal.

Only some places enforce the amber. Where I live (MN), I have no issues not having amber reflectors. I am sure its vice versa with the cat back exhaust where you live.

I just bought mine from Ft86speedfactory, just because Bulb was optional. Gotta pay to play.

This shouldn't be something thats normal to do with a light fixture, plus the OEM clears click in like butter.

Open pdf, find section 12.4.

But like I said most places don't care either way, but be careful.
It's stupid, but what can you do.


That's why everyone else has clear ones or sometimes none at all.
Example: The DOT Tom's tails that have an extra red reflector in them.
