Second mod on the car, just swapped in a pair of Diode Dynamics license plate bulbs. Always love how big of a difference LED's make as plate lights, looks so much cleaner.

I ordered these directly from a Valenti dealer out of Japan. Here is the packaging label. The lens does not appear to have the Valenti stamp anywhere, although that does not mean much as I have seen Valenti advertised tail lights that are made by HELIX with Valenti stamp on lens.
Having said that, these look nice, packaging was excellent and the lights have a nice heavy weight to them giving them a high quality feel. There's also a nice neoprene gasket surrounding the inner lens for added protection.
The lights also have three led tubes and three SMD's on back edge of the side marker

Or just post a link here?

I'm curious too.

x1UP · 03-26-2015, 02:03 PM

That's interesting! Link please! I'd love to buy these if possible!

chanomatik · 03-26-2015, 02:04 PM

Are these the same ones? Buncha pics inside. It seems like they do both white and amber once you connect them properly.

Yeah I had originally looked at these, but they will require some hardwiring and leds are white and amber. Mine are completely plug&play and all white leds

chanomatik · 03-26-2015, 03:07 PM

Ah sweet! I hadn't looked at side markers for a long while! I'll probably just stick with my "JDM STI" ones. More for OEM-ness and nostalgic value, especially since I paid full price for them ages ago.

I can wait to see what they look like on your ride, though!

The fitment on the Helix is great - they have a slightly different design than stock though. There's a small kink out in the plastic lens so the markers are visible from the front of the car. IIRC, my stock side markers were flat.

I was, but when I spoke to them yesterday they took care of me, sent the new wheels out right away.
