If people stop buying crap parts it might encourage those manufactuers to make better parts. BTW, I had bought a set of used Diode Dynamics markers from a member on here. One of them had half the LEDs blown. DD still stood by their warranty and replaced the defective piece. I just had to have the previous owner email me his receipt. It was a batch from 2017 and from what I have read, they have figured out the issue and fixed it in the new shipments.
I don't disagree with you but the problem is I'm in Canada. We don't have jack *%$# here for aftermarket parts so we pay a stupid amount of money with the exchange and duty. Not to mention the wait time and forget about shipping back for any warranty issues. I really want the Diode's like you mentioned but at five times the price I find myself looking for alternative options.

I love my country but for aftermarket car parts I might as well live in northern Russia.

Well that sucks. It would be nice if you were close enough to the border and could just have a P.O. box in the states. lol

There's a service called CrossBorder. It gives you a U.S. shipping address in Niagara Falls NY and then they ship it to you in Canada.

I've heard of this service. The problem isn't that I can't get things delivered to me from the US its the additional costs like customs duty. I'm assuming this service eliminates duty fees and any other extra fees to move your package across the border. That would be nice just pay the exchange rate difference.

I contacted JWM and they said they can have these in 3-4 days. Has anyone tried these side markers ? They look the same as the diode's but half the price.

I've been using them since June, they look very good and no problems so far. You can see one of them "in action" in my avatar.

I'm on the waiting list...it doesn't allow you to order so I'm not sure what "can have" means. Are they due to be in stock in the next few days?

None at all. Rear is a PITA if you don't remove the wheels, but clearly doable with proper tools.

I emailed them a couple days ago and asked the eta on these and he said he could have them in 3-4 days. I think I’m going to order a set tonight.
