Khoalty turn signals/corner lights - black or silver trim?

[stephenkirsh]

Does anybody have any experience with either one? They don't have very good examples on their website.

I'm leaning toward silver trim. I'd prefer full clear, but I guess that's not an option.

^Definitely black on a dark car. Here is Colin's corner as a comparison.

Black trimmed corners are for the ZHP/ZSP package cars and silver trimmed corners are for non sport model cars. I accidentally bought silver trimmed corners for my first Silvergray ZHP and it didn't look horrible, but silver trimmed corners on Imola wouldn't look too good IMO.

[stephenkirsh]

Yea I've imola red.

Nothing else on my car is blacked out, except the window trims which come stock.

Still confused which way to go... :(

Is that silver? Looks a bit over powering to me.

I think they are. Came on the car and others here recommended going black. Open to a swap!

I'd recommend getting OEM if possible. It's more pricey, but the quality difference is there.

[BavarianZHP]

Another one backing OEM... and definitely go with the black trim.

[stephenkirsh]

OEM is literally 4x the price. If these khoaltys don't work I'll just put the ambers back on. For $25 it's worth the experiment.

I had these on my sedan, and they are definitely the way to go.

That's even more than on ECS.

[Hermes]

I don't have a sedan so I don't know pricing, either way my opinion is euro clears or don't do it. Khoalty is fine, but the quality isn't the same

[Johnmadd]

I have the depo corners, I have moisture inside sometimes and the rubber that is outside has warped within less than 3 years. They look good but if I had the $ I would go oem for $150, although for 25$ if you replace them every couple years and sell the old for cheap local it would be financially smarter. I believe I have silver trim... let me find a pic :)

Same here. No problems. But I agree with everyone else saying to buy OEM clears. The Depo corners look fine and function the same, but if I had the money I would go with OEM clears. Depo corners are a lot cheaper quality and there isn't the same "heft" to the plastic or attention to details with the gasket and molding.

[Rovert]

My DEPO corners from Khoatly on my ZHP were fine for 7 years until the car was written off. No leaks or fitment issues. I never cried. Haha

[johnrando]

Nice pic there John!

[stephenkirsh]

Well I thought I'd update this.

Installed everything a week or two ago. It all fit just fine. Corner fitment to the headlight lens could be a bit better, but I'm fine with it all.
