Cheapest place to buy legit JDM side markers?
Looking at FT86 speedfactory for $95 and wondering if there are less expensive options.

Just an FYI.
Clear markers are 100% illegal in the US. The reflector itself must be amber, not just the bulb. Most places don't care, but be warned. |

Just seal them with some silicon before you install them. Never had any issues.

See I don't get US laws.
You can throw in FI, or even swap motors without anybody giving a damn. However, if your effin' reflector isn't amber you're being illegal as f*ck. Where I live it's the other way around. Even a simple catback needs certification for it to be street legal. |

Only some places enforce the amber. Where I live (MN), I have no issues not having amber reflectors. I am sure its vice versa with the cat back exhaust where you live. |

Open pdf, find section 12.4. But like I said most places don't care either way, but be careful. It's stupid, but what can you do. That's why everyone else has clear ones or sometimes none at all. Example: The DOT Tom's tails that have an extra red reflector in them. |
