I'm pretty sure Ricks was out of stock when I had ordered mine, there's no reason why I would have bought his over OEM ones expect for that. Maybe when it gets warm out I'll see if I can get them off and if I can I'll order the CR ones.

 

I had the JDM ones for over 2 years now, bought them for 30 shipped of ebay

 

i have the cr ones from htg and i have taken them in/out a couple of times with no problems. i bought some 4-led red bulbs from autozone and i like the look of them. they may not be legal, but no one has said anything to me yet , knock on wood

 

yea it's weird only the passenger side gets condensation, the drive side one is completley fine.

 

is there a VISUAL difference between ricks clear and CR sidemarkers?

 

smoked ones: condensation, cutting into car, worst of all no one mentioned is that theres a gap between side marker and fender that isn't there with oem... i can fit my fingernail in between.. happened with 1 set and replacement set from them. still look dope though with my csmoked corners

 

I found the CR ones to look a bit clearer and cleaner. Also, Rick's has no writing on the cover while the CR ones have all the JDM stuff on it. As far as build quality and fitment, the CR ones are hands down much better. I went through 3 sets of Ricks, all of them either broke or leaked over time. The CR ones have been on my car for months and are still prooving flawless.

 

Had rick's smoked sidemarkers. Left one broke when installing it...

Sent email to Rick to ask him to sell me just one. He said he would send me a replacement and never got it.

I gave up and Installed the stock ones.
