2G Side Marker Lights Not Fitting

[RevyDSM]

Bought theses smoked side marker lights on ebay. Only difference I see between stock and the aftermarket is the little clip part on closest to the wheel on the stock lights have a slope to it and the new ones don't

What is the issue about them that they are not fitting? Are they just not staying in or do they not fit at all?

So the stock ones go in just fine and you can hear the click however with the ebay ones they just wont fit at all, the sizing is right but they just dont seem to want to go in place

Unfortunately the down side to getting things from Ebay is that the fitment is not always right. And usually the return process is a PITA so you might either have to find a way to make them work or try a different set.

I got the same ones, all I had to do was pry the spring clip side out a little to put more pressure on the solid clip side.
I also got a partial refund because of it. I have to disagree with the generality of the previous statement. I buy almost everything through eBay (in case you dont know by now everybody and their mother has an eBay store, and even though I could buy parts direct from a sellers website I prefer to use their eBay store because of the ease of returns) and 90% of the time if you have any kind of fitment issues you'll get a partial refund at least. It's much more economical than paying for return shipping. Hell, I have a ton of stuff that I received full refunds for that only took a little work to make right. Returns on eBay are by far the least hassle free out of any online retailer. Just click return and you get a prepaid label. EBay has changed drastically in the last 5 years, so the old all inclusive consensus that eBay sucks is no longer applicable.

I don't know what you are smoking. Ebay stuff is cheap and not as good of quality as real parts from real suppliers. It is harder to make sure you have the right part, and harder to get in contact with the vendor. Don't get me wrong, ebay has it's place, and I have bought plenty from there, but if i had a choice between STM, JNZ or the liek and ebay for the same price, real sites every time.

Hahahaha that's funny. That's like saying a strip mall is bad because of one store. Every business has their own eBay store at this point. There's no such thing as "eBay stuff". You just have to do your research before you order. Christ, everyone from extreme psi to pep boys has an eBay store. Everyone whom I know who owns a retail business has increased their sales volume drastically once they start selling on the eBay marketplace. You're living in the past.

I only smoke the best BTW
