At the very top when you open that link you will see clear turn signals. What I would just like to know is what the difference between the european version and the american version. Theres a $100 difference in price so its gotta do somethin different that the american version doesnt do. If anyone has any idea please let me know.

Thanks :)

    European is made by hella. It also should include the 2 bulb socket, so that your parking lights are clear and only your turn signals ate yellow. With the after market set up you end up with either an illegal set up or yellow turn signals anyways.

      So if I was to buy from either of the two I should go with the euro ones instead of the american aftermarkets?

        Those are the OEM ones with the sockets. If my local police were not such wankers I probably would have gone with aftermerket. So I guess go with what ever you can get away with is my best answer.

          Your local police care about that stuff. My local police often drive with parking lights only. On more than one occasion, a state trooper drove 5-10 miles in the overtake lane in my blind spot. Your local police sound like they need something else to think about.

            Cops here suck. Actually here and DC they suck. DC has random inspection. Never fun when you only have 3 days to get the cat back on the car. Anyways, I am not 100% sure what the after market lenses look like. I depends on which brand you are talking about. 100 seems very cheap. Even stock US spec turn signals are 50 each. I would just ask for some pictures.

          I just have one more question. Do the euro and aftermarket appear to look the same? LIke is there any real noticable differences? Would the extra $100 be worth it?
