Does anyone have experience using these from Ebay?

Well.. they're not JDM because they're on the US Type-S.. so that right there is enough to make me not buy from the idiot selling them.

The fronts are already smoked; and I doubt it's easy to replace the front ones [why would you? they're already smoked!]

$59 for a set of 4 = cheap knock offs that will probably fail.. Get the TL-S rear side markers from Honda Acura World [there's a big group buy thread in the main 3G TL Forums]

 

My left front marker went out so it had to be replaced anyway. Acura dealer wanted $70-80 for one replacement marker. I picked these up for ~$70 shipped.

The fronts are no more dificult to change than the rears. Just turn the wheel and pop the back of the front inner wheel well liner loose. Reach in and squeeze the tabs on the sides of the light and it fals right out. For the rears, you go thru the trunk liner (I think thats what I did). I've had these for a few months now and they are not bad. They look great and if you're changing all four, they match. No, they don't match the OEM smoked fronts they are a little more clear and not as textured on the inside (you know the reflective diamond pattern). Also, the aftermarket lights fit in the hole very well, but the clips are not as "positive locking" as the OEM. One of mine popped out when I got a wash mit caught on it. I noticed a slight curvature difference with the new ones, but I think they have flattened out completely, now.

Sorry, but for the price of 1 (one) OEM marker light, I can buy a complete set of 4 (four) of these. My money goes to this eBay seller. (BTW, that is the one I bought from and his shipping was fast and transaction was easy. Good seller)

I'll try to post some pics.

Aftermarkets installed, OEMs below

 

Those look pretty good!

 

Yeah, I kinda like them. They look good on my Anth and I'm sure they would look good on NBP (or anything really). They look "blacked-out" compared to the OEMs.

 

Would you mind posting a night shot with the side markers on? Thanks.

 

wow! i am surprised... These actually look pretty darn good! I like how it's darker smoked.

 

I do not like how it's lighter where the light is at though..

 

I looked at these for a very long time, but was too chicken shit to order one.. gotta admit they look very good! I would also like to see a night shot if possible.

 

I would also like to see a night shot as well as full car shot during the day. I really like the look of them but am worried about fit due to them being aftermarket.

 

they look amazing compaired to the oe ones.

 

Bit the bullet and just bought some so we will see. I will be sure to post a full report with photos once they arrive!

 

Sorry for the bad pics, but here they are. The car got a good cleaning today, it was photo-shoot time.

This is the left rear where you can see the two side LEDs and the CCFL Plate lights

Really just a pic of the CCFL plate lights

Right- front with the OEM incandescent bulb in the Park/Turn light

Closer to the Right-rear side marker.

I'll try to post some of the day-time full side shots too.

 

heres some daytime shots I took after giving here a good bath.









I like the side markers compared to the red and smoked OEMs. They still have a little curve to them which leaves a small (1/16-inch) gap between the body and the light. Thats about the thickness of a credit card and its only that wide toward the middle. They still hold in place just fine, though.
