difference in 99 spec turn signal

is there a difference between the aftermarket, ie: rotaryextreme 99spec turn signal to the OEM ones??? I know the price is different by about $200 but is it worth it for the OEM ones

There are small differences. There's a thread out there comparing the OEM ones and the ebay/knockoffs.

I'd say just get the knockoffs. Its about $170 and they work great, no leak and perfect fitment.

That's not the whole story. There's more than one report of them melting. Here's one example... https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/got-car-back-today-pic-391543/.

Interesting. What I find baffling about this report of the lens cover melting is that it's the turn signal light, which obviously doesn't stay lit for very long periods.

EDIT: Now that I look more closely, it might not be FEED. Look at the bottom of the FEED kit I just posted then look at the bottom of the one above. The lines don't match up. The one above is smooth all the way across while this one looks like splitters have been molded on. I don't know if I explained it right. Unless there are 2 different types.

It's the newer FEED bumper (Version 2R). That one is quite old and was replaced shortly after it was knocked off.

So how many of you actually bought the knock off bumper lights? And how many of you have had the melting problem?
