Junyan makes Replica Crystal Eye Tail lights on Ebay
So I was looking into getting a set of legit Crystal Eye's from Japan until I found these on ebay that looks exactly like Crystal Eye's but not advertised as Crystal Eye. After doing some small research I found out the ones being sold on ebay are made in Taiwan by Junyan. It could be quite possibly that Crystal Eye outsourced their tail lights to a manufacturer in Taiwan which then in term used the same mold to sell to another distributor under a different name and resell the exact same design as another name. Quality wise if they are built in the same factory I would assume the ebay one's are just as good as the "authentic" JDM one's from Crystal Eye. Does anyone here had any luck with purchasing this particular tail light from ebay?

From what I heard, almost all the aftermarket taillights are made in Taiwan. And they just use different brand name. Tom's and Buddyclub are from the same manufacturer. Crystal eyes, spyder, valenti... they all made in Taiwan. I got my crystal eyes "style" for only 200USD when I visit Taiwan last winter. But for Toms and Buddyclub, they are export only. (due to pattern or law i think)

If only they had the aero fins like OEM I'd be all over them.

WTF? What does that have to do with the taillights? Even most aftermarket lights have the fins except Crystal Eye and this one. |

They are actually amazing quality. On par or better than TOM's (I've owned both). Perfect fit, quality lights and connectors. Scratch resistance seemed very good too.
So yes, they will last longer than 2 months...

This is the closest thing to adding that aero fin that may work for you.
