He didn't buy them from a vendor... He doesn't want to give out the info of a random website, and take away from vendors here on the forum.

The OEM Clear Side Markers are on the expensive side because they are made by Toyota's automotive lighting supplier, Kyoto, in Japan. Kyoto is a leading manufacturer and supplier for Toyota/Subaru/Lexus etc. and they are well known for their product quality and durability.

We understand that there are different viewpoints regarding lighting upgrades and questions are often raised by a product is more expensive than the other. There are many reasons for a more expensive product, most notably the following:
  • Overall product quality
  • Fit and finish
  • Durability in all weather conditions (particularly years of service for automotive parts)

There are a number of aftermarket options/models for clear side markers, many of which are look-a-like (replica). While these may seem attractive and cost effective, it does present a number of risks and product-associated problems:
  • Condensation - rain, water, dirt, moisture gets into the housing due to poor seals (potentially causing a short circuit and result in a blown fuse)
  • Fitment of the housing may be hit-and-miss depending on the batch quality (aftermarket parts supplier)
  • Materials used may break easily (build quality may vary)
  • Plastic may exhibit early signs of "yellowing/cloudy" caused by oxidation and exposure to UV rays and different weather conditions

These are just some things to considering when shopping for clear side markers. A number of our customers have initially purchased aftermarket side markers and were quite dissatisfied about them for a number of reasons (leaking, condensation, broken attachment, cracked assembly, etc.).

Again, everyone is different so there is no right or wrong answer. As car enthusiasts ourselves, we recommend paying a bit more and invest in the OEM Japan clear side markers for the long run (hassle-free). Just my 2 cents!
