99 bumper questions

Been searching here & there, forums answered most of my questions but was wondering if anyone has tried the DEPO 99 turn signals? or any other companies besides factory? think its a little pricey to buy turn signals for 500$+

also which ducts did you guys get for the oil coolers?

thanks
dan

I bought some non factory light off the forum a couple of weeks ago. I have tried them kut yet as I am still deciding on a bumper. If you want more details on them let me know and I'll look when I get home and take some pics if you want. The quality seems ok and I also did some research on aftermarket 99 turn signals, I know rx7boutique has some for sale on their website and I believe he ran some on his car for awhile so they cant be that bad.

I bought a set of depo 99 lights for my projector retrofit and they look nice. There is a whole writeup on them vs. the OEM combo lights on another forum. If you want the link message me and Ill shoot it to you.

if you do get non oem 99 style front turn signals, make sure to get them with the black backing. The chrome ones look really cheap.

Just checked and mine came from alfa otto.

+1 on getting the ones with the black backround. Most places only have pics of the chrome ones but have the black ones you just have to ask them.

If you buy OEM, I have the a conversion harness I can sell you. It's a FEED harness, but I have URAS combo lights that didn't need the Harness.

Just go oem, the replicas look funky. I see them pop up on eBay from time to time around $250.

From a distance, you really can't tell, but up close you will see the name Stanley on the bottom portion of the OEM. Also the OEM looks a lot cleaner where the housing joins the lens. I also notice the OEM tends to withstand scratches better. I had a friend with the replicas, and after a year, it looked all scratched up just from usual washing.


Pretty much...go OEM if you can.

I have OEM ones and they look pretty beat up. OEM or replica, I think it's a great idea to have them clear bra'd.
