Default clear side markers?

which clear side markers did you guys buy?

i know its a simple buy but i found these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-05...item563cec01f3

to me they look like the best ive found, but after taxes/shipping to cali they end up to $30 compared to others that would be about $15..

or do they all look the same?

http://www.google.com/product_url?q=...=0CBEQgwgwAjgA

http://www.google.com/product_url?q=...=0CBYQgwgwAzgA

thers quite a few dif places. is it all the same or are some more clear and better quality (like if some are just flimsy and easily breakable)

I think they are either all the same or basically the same in quality. Leaking or fogging is the only concern. That said, I bought ebay smoke corners and they have never leaked so far. I would say just buy the cheapest one you can find, and if you are worried about them fogging or leaking, just ad a bead of weather sealant along the edge and call it the day.

clear sidemarkers seem to be an easy buy...I got the ones in the links above, but they are started to turn yellowish...so I plan to buy new ones soon.

Im actually looking for the jdm clear sidemarkers....they deflect the light within the markers for a better look.

I agree with PHML. That is why when you find a good set, that doesn't leak, and you like it, order a second pair just in case.

PHML did you mean like these?

I don't see anyone selling these anymore. I believe this is a discontinued model.
