Clear side markers
Is there a quality difference between OEM and aftermarket clear side markers?
I'm mainly concerned with water getting into the electrical components. Least expensive place to purchase from? |

We really need to take some clear photos of this but the ones that cost (helix) half as much as OEM JDM ones use little to no glue to seal them. You get what you pay for in the end. The glue in the cheap ones may hold for a bit but don't expect them to last like OEM. Also the glue is not clear in the Helix it has a yellow tint to it where the OEM JDM ones use clear glue. If you are worried about quality, price point should not be the determining factor, lower price points mean lower quality. |
