The knightsports kit converts the plugs from the original OEM Stanley turn signals.
The ones on ebay are already wired in to properly connect to the older harness connectors without the use of the knightsports kit.

If that's the case then you must already have the 99 spec bulb sockets?

Having ordered the kit from corkspor myself this is how the Stanley signals are wired with the knightsports harness:

Bulb socket harness => Knighsports harness => USDM harness

ebay turn signals:

Bulb socket harness => USDM harness

See this thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...gnals-1054969/

If you really only need the turn signals without the socket harness I may sell you a new set of hypersports turnsignals at a better price than the black ones posted above. Though from the thread above, its difficult to source the socket harness.

In short, the knighsports harness only coverts the 99spec wiring to fit older models it does not replace it.

Wish I knew I wouldnt need these dam knightsport harness and would of just gotten the lights only and not waste money on the harness, that is stupid that it doesnt come with a socket.

I guess I have to wait to find the black housing ones. Seen the others go for 50-60. The link you gave for the black housings is just a tad more than I was looking for.

$159 seems dirt cheap to me considering the Mazda ones cost $500+.

Yes he is. I think the ones I posted are black but maybe not. Will let you know when they arrive next week. Not as important for me as I am cutting them up a bit and repainting the insides matte black anyway.

Could you point me to where on EVO-R's website he has these? Can't see them anywhere.

On the eBay front, the company I had ordered from was out of stock on the black (smoke) ones. They refunded me my money. I did find this morning another person that supposedly sells them:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191194612175?item=191194612175&viewitem=&vxp=mtr
So, I will let you know if they really do have them and how they look.

We have access to them along with a variety of other styles: turnsignal

Be care of the Depot ones on ebay, after awhile they have been known to let water and condensation in.

The rx7boutique.com ones look really nice. I'll let you know about the Depo ones I ordered. I am taking off the covers to do some mod work on the inside which means I will reseal the covers on when done. Would most likely take care of the condensation/water issue as the seam for the cover is the usual place these leak.

So the Depo ones I ordered were delivered to me.

First, they are not black on the inside, but more of a smoked chrome sort of look. Pretty much just like the pics show them on eBay. Not the worst looking but not straight black. If you want black, you will need to open these up and paint or plastidip them.

On the good news side, they are nice quality. When compared to my more expensive OEM and aftermarket ones, I see no differences in the quality of the materials used or the construction. The weight is also the same. Finally, they come with the wiring harness as shown in the pics and they even have bulbs installed.

So, for $70, seem to be a good deal. Remember what rx7boutique said though, these will most likely have water condensation issues in the future. If you are uncomfortable dealing with that, then spend the extra bucks on the known and tested units rx7boutique carries.

EDIT:

So I dug a little deeper based on the parts number on the back of light housing. As we know, these are made by DEPO, a Taiwan company:

Depo

You could contact them directly as they list the black ones in their catalogue, that is if they haven't been discontinued:



Finally, Taiwan Auto Parts also lists the Depo turn signals in their catalogue so that is another place to look for these:
