Just to clarify on the quality of lighting pieces from D Max, Origin, Vertex, URAS or whatever.....
True, the majority of the lights may resemble "Ebay stuff", but there are literally hundreds of factories that produce these types of lights, and they are not all made the same. Sometimes a piece from one factory is replicated by another company, even including the same markings and boxes, but with inferior workmanship or materials.
Companies like D Max, Origin, Vertex or whatever, buy their light components from reputable factories. Customers in Japan are very aware of quality, so we try our hardest to provide quality goods, and we are very selective of which factories we buy these products from. For example, D Max clear sidemarkers are exactly the same as URAS because we buy it from the same supplier because of their quality.
HOWEVER, when it comes to ebay, you are not necessarily dealing with one of the better made companies, you are actually dealing with a RESELLER who is trying to make as much profit as possible by reducing their unit cost. So to do that, that reseller will buy whatever item looks the same from whichever factory will give him the best deal. So what does that mean? Simply, Ebay sellers are not as trustworthy as you think.
Sorry to go off topic.....
