Default Clear sidemarkers + front signal for < $75 ?

Does anyone know if these are good alternatives to the more expensive options out there?

Seems like the regular factory ones in clear with the bulb being orange.

I've asked the seller to let me know if these are legal but any insight would be great.

Thanks.

I don't think it's such a concern of them being legal as long as they blink amber. A better question for the seller would have been if they were crap.

Ok I am still no sure how these compare to the expensive LED versions. I'm just going to purchase them and I'll post up my feedback.

At least $100 for clear side markers is a little steep.

I have them and they are made 100x better than stock ones. If you look inside the stock housings they are BLACK! These are chromed on the on the inside. I then installed LEDS from V-LEDs in the sides and fronts and I thought they were brighter with the bulbs WOW they are freaking bright now with LEDS!

Side markers are 194
turn signals are 3157
just search for LED replacements for these sizes.

LEDs only work one way so if you put them in and they don't work, just turn them around.

Thanks BullandTerrier. You are right and those are in their packages in my trunk.

Thanks to whpony96 I confirmed that the eBay options out there are worth it, plus can be upgraded with LEDS. Note that it was recommended to go with the more expensive LEDs (about 10$ per at least) to have them work correctly.

I ended up getting them in the mail pretty promptly and will install them this weekend.

I'll post my results here when completed.

Thanks again.

Got the parking lights in and they look great, will post pictures by tomorrow when I have the side markers in.

BTW, the parking lights take literally 3 minutes to install.
