Those ARs look really nice. Is there anything that can be done to prevent the plastic from breaking? Hearing that makes me really not want to order them.

^^^It's not the Valenti side markers that suffer from plastic breaking

The Avest and Valenti ive never had an issue with the plastic being to brittle and breaking. Just the AR i had that issue with, and other AR product like their rear fogs and front indicators ive never had issue with.

In saying all that the last time I installed a AR side marker myself was likely a year ago and it could have been lack of experience.

Looking to get side markers. Would a light smoke blend better with the blue?

LED86 · 03-28-2015, 12:55 PM

Blue and black is always a nice combo

JPxM0Dz · 03-30-2015, 12:21 PM

@LED86 Do you have access to the Valenti side markers ? Looking to pickup a set for testing

LED86 · 03-30-2015, 10:24 PM

I'm based in Australia, might take you awhile to get here lol.
I have access to any Valenti product you might want info on BTW. So if there's other videos you want just let me know.

PandaSPUR · 03-30-2015, 10:45 PM

So would you all say the valenti ones are actually better than the OEM or OEM knockoff clear side markers?

I was originally planning to buy from Nigel but his price went from $70 to $80.

Either Avest or Valenti side markers are much better quality than stock and many others that I've come accross. They are built to last. Every time I take a stock piece off the car like side markers, rear fog etc, you can see where Toyota saved costs as the quality of the stock parts are awful.

$80 USD is still a fair price for what your getting and I fully back Nigel on supplying only genuine Valenti products

Ah I meant hes charging 80 for the JDM clear side markers, which is admittedly still a good price. I'd rather have something different though, so now I needa find a US distributor for these lol.

Ahh got ya. Sorry misunderstood.
I'm biased towards led indicators because its an instant on/off. Being around led all the time I spot halogen bulbs a mile away

JPxM0Dz · 03-31-2015, 11:21 AM

Just a word of warning to anyone looking to buy these. I spoke with a Valenti vendor and was told they stopped carrying them due to leakage and dead leds. Basically the same issues they were having with their first gen tails
