$25 Ebay smoked side markers

[DmhCmh]

I bought these about a month ago, and swapped them in. The install went great, they were a perfect fit with no play at all.
Over the weekend I was detailing the car and noticed the drivers' side one was loose, it would 'wiggle' noticeably when I touched it. I went to the passenger side, and when I touched it, the whole assembly popped out and dangled from the wire - the rear clip had broken off somehow.
Luckily I still had the stock ones, so I put them back in. As I did this, I also noted that the driver's side smoked marker had a good deal of water inside, so the sealing was great too.

Warranty? It's cheap Ebay, I'll try but won't expect much.

So...anyone else seen this - or checked your smoked side reflectors lately?

Are these the Depo brand markers?

No, the brand according to the seller is "88AERO".

Yeah, the non oem ones are pretty bad. I bought clear ones after I purchased the car. Install was fine but a few days after I decided to put in LED bulbs. I took them out after driving home from work and swapped the bulbs but the driver side would barely stay clipped in. I think the heat from driving softened the plastic and the little part of the side marker that actually clips in had moved enough to not fit securely anymore. As this was maybe a week after I received them I reached out to the seller and they sent me a new one. Installed that new one and haven't had issues with it being loose. The driver side of these knock offs definitely has a leak somewhere though as mine too always has condensation in it.

Thanks for clarifying. I purchased the Depo brand smoked side markers on eBay for just under $25 and was very impressed with the quality. I've always had good luck with that brand.

Yeah I would look into purchasing the Depo side markers. Those are the ones I plan on getting next.

I'll look for those, thanks for the tip! All $25 side markers are not equal apparently.
