JDM TRD Winker "blub" (sic) ...$124?!?!?!?!
 

Found this gem on ebay: Seriously?!?

It saddens me that someone that drives this same great car that I have, is going to be stupid enough to buy this... :slap:

Its JDM man. Must buy now!

This is only the start, people will be buying far dumber shit, for way more money.

I can't wait for the JDM oil filler caps that say FR-S. It's so JDM it doesn't need the Japanese name!

What. . . does it do?

+2HP :lol:

Mm, no deal-- i saw a set on Craigslist guaranteed to give me 4HP. Plus +2MPG. ...And a bikini model. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...es/ofc5ra1.png

Please someone help me understand this JDM thing. I see it talked about all over this forum.

JDM = Japan Domestic Market.

It is just as big here as SpoCom is in Japan. Basically it always comes down to people wanting what they don't have. "I've got an STi wing but I want it wingless."

I ordered these same bulbs for 18 bucks. But because this is a TRD part it will cost you an extra 70 bucks.

Anytime a Mfr puts their name on something they have to charge a premium. Like a 400 dollar STi strut bar.

The bulbs are pretty cool though. They stay chrome until fire off and then they blink amber. It's kinda the same bulbs Mitsu has been using in the Eclipse for years now.

Seesh just buy some stealth bulbs. :iono:

Does TRD really not know how to spell "bulb"?

I'm 99% sure the only thing "TRD" about this ad is the photoshopped logo on the blister pack. No way this is really made/packaged by Toyota.

Not chopped. Is real. Another link - http://www.rhdjapan.com/trd-winker-bulbs-52108

As Thermobox put it, there is an air of superiority for parts from Japan. While this is the case in some instances, companies tend to take advantage of an unknowing public by labeling "lesser" products as such.
