    Crack Free Early Model Yellowish-Clear Turn Signals!!

    I found these crack free, great condition turn signals on a parts car recently and decided to pick them up. They are for an early model e30 with metal bumpers and are clear with a yellowish tint. I am not sure where these are from or who makes them but they look very clean. $50 shipped in the intercontinental 48 states. (Sorry for the messy front end ahead of time haha, definitely need a new plate filler).







    With the lights on (yellowish turn signals):





    As you can see, very nice yellow tint when the lights are on.

    They aren't supposed to be yellow but the early batches yellowed over time. My buddy made these for the club members before they went mainstream.

      Don't OEM turn signals have "BMW" stamps though? I don't see them in the first pic.

        I'm positive that these are NOT clear ones that have yellowed over time because not too long ago, I bought actual clear ones brand new, that I still currently use, and those have stamps and writing on them. These ones on the other hand are completely blank of any writing and are 100% crack free, so I doubt they could have faded this accurately without cracking. It would take many years for these turn signals to turn this color from clear, and even if they were exposed to such harsh conditions that would have caused them to change colors, they undoubtedly would have cracked. From all my junkyard runs, I have yet to see many sets of even the orange turn signals, the most common ones, 100% crack free, and those aren't faded...

          Right, like I said my buddy had them made. They aren't oem and obviously designed to be clear.

            Pretty much all the aftermarket light makers like depo and junyan get yellow over time. It's not rare or special it's just old aftermarket clear turns.
