    Just be happy that we even have a 3rd party developer interested in creating unique parts for us. There is no excuse for sloppy craftsmanship, but other than that, the product is quite accurate and satisfatory, IMHO. I have the same beading on the back of the assembly, but I see that as an easy workaround on my end. A little wet sanding on the back should smooth that down.

    I am not taking sides here, its just that I have worked with MANY 3rd party companies that were willing to work with us on unique knockoffs for the VX, and sometimes the waters arent always smooth (actually, most of the time, they were pretty rough). The price we pay for being l33t, hahaha.

    I'd have to agree here. While the side markers aren't exactly perfect, they are pretty darn good. They can easily be touched up with a little time and a little sand paper like Wormy said. And even though the screw hole is slightly off, it still works, and I am sure you could mod the front plastic piece a little to make it more snug. I was thinking you could just wrap it tightly with some electrical tape to make it fit a little tighter. And the front lenses, are indeed pretty close to perfect, imo.

    The reality here is that the side marker lenes and housings are not exactly an easy piece to replicate, and Klearz did a fine job of doing so. And the fact that seem to be handling Clint's shipping issue is also good.

    Anyway, my 2 cents.

    Clint,

    how's this coming along?

    Tina emailed me yesterday apologizing for the mix-ups and what not.
    They seem to be really good people, handling it well if anything.
    I could certainly understand your frustration, but at least they're easy to deal with.

    Yeah they are very easy to deal with and have always responded to my emails very quickly. I know mistakes happen and I don’t fault them for that but just the overall situation kind of got to me. She said they will be sending me a left side.

    Still haven't tried to fit the side markers but the turn signal lenses fit PERFECTLY.

    Now what is a good recommendation for the best amber light bulbs for this application?
