JDM CRYSTAL SMOKE SIDE MARKER LIGHTS
 

Spotted these on ebay, thought it was a smokin' deal :thumbsup:

$69.99US

Smoked: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-BRZ-Z...21084005407%26

Clear: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-BRZ-Z...item5d3d8db09c

Bought them! I'll give a review once I get them in.

Thanks!

is that for the headlighttt???????

No, this is the small light above the front wheels.

This is great! I've been waiting to see how long it would take for the market to come out with two plastic pieces for less than $100. $70 is still not ideal but I think once they get under $50 I'll be game.

If they work, I think they'd be a better choice than the clear JDM side markers for all the dark color 86's out there

I'm curious to see this on a normal FR-S/BRZ as well. Tempted to get this for my SWP

They also have the clear.

oo nice.. might get this one if the review for the smoked ones are good.

Sick. This car gets the parts train goin fast. It's gonna be real hard, real quick to tell the "real" thing from the rep.

Bought em! Asked about these a couple of months ago when I saw them for way more. Glad to see them offered for a slightly more realistic price, still high, but way better than $100+++ :party0030:

Damn if I knew these existed I wouldn't have invested $100 on clear ones :(

:word: waiting for the $50 price range too :happy0180:

Think you boys might be waiting awhile. These things were and are still $100+ from vendors and other online retailers right now. So to see them at $69, that's a hell of a pricedrop really. At $50 or less, you'd be more than likely getting them up at cost

How much do you think it costs to manufacture a reflector in China? The markup on these things is probably 200% or more.

Same here!!

nice find. might have to pick me up a set! :thumbup:

I don't know, I've never had anything manufactured in China, so please enlighten us ??

Too assume there is 200% markup would be pure speculation, unless you know something about the manufacturing process that we're all missing. It's not as simple as how much it cost to make something, there are other dynamics that refect the pricing also...

Sorry for the poor light, but here's one of mine installed on my Raven 6 mt.

Love the look of these over the orange marker.

^^^Yeah that pic doesn't help, thanks anyways ;)

sorry man...i'll try and get a better shot up later today

Well to give you an idea just hop on Alibaba, I source a lot of stuff from China and you would not believe how cheap it is to get this stuff made.

For example a reflector with LEDs for between $1-$5 a piece.

I'll wait for the $29.99 version to pop up. It's bound to happen.

Wouldn't mind a red pair..

No, you can buy a lot of at least 500 for $1-$5 per piece. You're looking at spending $500-$2500 + shipping + customs. Sure, once you receive the package you could then sell each of those at cost to cover your costs, but that's not how a business operates.

Ordered the clear, what a good deal! Hopefully it fits OEM...

Good find!

And then you mark them up 200% like I said in my first reply.

Hopefully! They may stick out a little from what I've seen and heard with all other aftermarket sidemarkers

For the people waiting for $10-$30 marker lights... you get what you pay for

These should show a little better.

Are these the ebay ones?

I did purchase from an eBay store. JZSinternational. They are authentic JDM parts.

Do they stick out at all, or did they install flush like OEM ?

They're nice and dark! Almost hidden on your Raven FR-S

Stealthy :thumbsup:

There is a raised portion built into the lens that does stick out....but it doesn't detract from the aesthetic at all. They swap in where the oem ones fit with no additional modification necessary.

The ones from Helix and the OEM ones from Japan do stick out slightly. That is because the Japanese cars use that side marker as a blinker also and the bump makes the light more visible.

Yeah I remember reading that somewhere also

i ordered the smoked ones

Red reflectors or lights on the front end of the any vehicle is illegal in all 50 us states. Having this in red is just asking for a ticket.

Damn, and i almost splurged on a $160 set of smoked ones a couple months ago, maybe if my clears ever break i'll pick up a set of these.

I did not realize this. Thanks for the info :thumbsup:
