Good feedback. I think the difference vs OEM amber markers might just be the felt. Do the JDM markers have felt on the sides?

Oh wow, I just noticed that, yes they do, on the top and sides.

Hmm, I think with that confirmation it is safe to say that the difference isn't the felt (OEM having felt and aftermarket not having felt). The felt might be to minimize rubbing against the paint and to create a tighter fit, but it must not be to stop water, if indeed you still have issues with those JDM OEM ones, right? Must just be the integrity of how they are bonded and maybe the amber markers bond better or are made in a different factory.

I think it's the way the glass is sealed to the housing , my helix ones literally split open

Good thing I read this thread... Was about to buy the helix... :lol:

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk I just purchased helix ones a couple hours ago.... I just sent a email asking them not to ship it and cancel my order!

Just a heads up for anyone thinking about buying the Helix ones. I got some on Ebay for $25 and they turned out to be Helix branded. I also bought some clear silicone sealant from home depot and applied it to crack between the gray and clear sides of the housing. Hopefully they won't leak.....

I know this is an old thread but FWIW in case there’s anyone wondering which ones to get... if you want clear side markers then go JDM. I’ve had the clear JDM ones with amber bulbs from a local auto shop for 3+ years with no issue. Looks great and meets street regulations.

Anybody with experience on these?

these two bad boys!

Oh those are nice as well. Where from?

I'd sometime wish for cheap paint-matched sidemarker deletes to be made/sold, the stealthier looks delete, the better. Less expensive/non carbon look vs verus ones. And replace their function with sidemarkers/turn signals as in intec fender garnishes or side mirrors with turn signals (#1, #2). Highly hate flimsy contruction of OE sidemarker mounting mechanism :(

Yes bought some when went of track and broke both of my Helix ones. They do not fit for shit. Ended up repairing the helix ones and putting them back in. PM me and pay for shipping I will give them to you to try.

I was concerned about fit at that price. Will keep shopping but thanks for the offer!
