I'm experimenting and have the following on order:

THESE TURN SIGNALS ARE A DIRECT BOLT IN ON YOUR FENDER, JUST NEED TO UNBOLT THE ORIGINAL ONES AND USE THE SAME ORIGINAL GASKETS.

 

I'm not expecting great results.

No mounting holes, & you will need to drill to mount .

So the whole thing is plastic? 

[peterschop]

Looks like it is all plastic, even the housing. It will look kind of funny when you open your hood being able to see down in to the unit. Turn signal only, no parking light.

 

Here is a direct quote from the add:

 

HOWEVER ARE NOT OEM QUALITY, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WHOLE UNIT IS MADE OF PLASTIC, EVEN THE HOUSING

[PeteRose]

I was thinking of getting the all clear ones also. The plan was to tint the rear with an orange side marker tint, then possibly the top with a decent silver. I know, cheap... But when considering the rarity and price of real Italian turns, it might be worth a try. The quality/ craftsmanship of your tape and painting skills will really matter here.

[gargtat]

did anyone ever get any?

[Chris_B]

 Another alternative might be to use a clear housing (i have seen these for sale on ebay from time to time) and a pair of the new "switchback" led lamps (will do amber and white light). Can't seem to find any clear lens assemblies right now. Maybe this is a crazy idea...

I have my doubts if this is the design of the real italian signals. In my opinion and as far as I can remember my visit to Italy about 40 years ago, only the rear quarter (25%) of the signals used to be orange, not 50/50.

But that's all the owner's taste, of course.

they dont seem like they would be to bad as long as the materiel they are made of (plastic) can stand up to the elements. i would be worried about them fading into some other really ugly color. when the hood is down and your doing 80mph on the 405 they probably look cool.

....when the hood is down and your doing 80mph on the 405 they probably look cool.

Maybe speed IS the key, 'cause they look like cheap crap sitting still.

You'd think the seller would post a pic of them on an 02. Maybe there's a reason. I agree with Steve.

looking at the sellers feedback, it appears he's sold several sets...i asked him to add pics of the lights installed
