 I bought some new front turn signals primarily due to my lenses not being very good shape. I am not going to say where I got them from (not Ebay), because it appears that no matter who sells them, they are all from the same manufacturer. I'm assuming that because everyone shows the same picture.  First off, they do not fit properly into the slot and leave a gap with the bezel. The plastic shell isn't very sturdy and I'd be leery of the tabs for the two bolts that hold it in place breaking from vibration. They come with bulbs. But I spent a lot of hours trying to figure out why the driver side wasn't working. Finally found that the 2 contacts that the bulb makes contact with were not aligned properly. I had phone in hand ready to give the supplier hell, but decided I better calm down and wait until the next day. After realizing the only thing they could do would be to replace them with ones that weren't any better and calming down, I decided to use my original shells and replace the lenses. Rant over  :steamingmad:

Is this that picture...

I bought a set and they didn't fit perfect, but 98% perfect.  I remember when these weren't available and a decent set of lenses and bezels cost $1,000 with some minor spider webbing / crazing.

B,E & A made the best repop sets hands down. Tremendous loss when he got out of the business...

How do the lenses fit the original housings?  Are they 2 pieces like originals? You could pair these new lenses with a pair of PG's housings and maybe have a more accurate piece?   Thanks

Mine were from Ross at BEA.  Maybe that is the difference?  But thought PG made them all anyway.

Mike would have a much higher quality control on his parts as well as original markings..Pg's quality was hit and miss overall..

When I bought my turn signals from BEA Mike told me that I should get 2 sets because he would run out of inventory soon and that would be the last of them. I didn't know much about BEA or Mike at the time so I thought maybe he was just being a good salesman. Little did I know that I should have taken his advice!
