Yeah they are aftermarket.

Have seen them before and they didn't used to be hard to track down... Haven't looked for a long time though.

id also say aftermarket is worth less than oem but condition on the ones you have looks good so you could ask a few quid for them

Yeah they're funky looking ones and no mistake - didn't mean to sound like I was doing them down, if I did!

Are they uk legal tho?

From my understanding sidelights have to emit white light if the headlight is white. To be yellow the headlight also has to emit yellow (this is due to older French cars(wurlycorner))

Yes, it does. You're allowed Amber marker lights on the side of the car.
Way round that would be to put clear indicators in the bumper and use those as sidelights instead?

well to be honest seen as i wont some jdm one piece units long as i can sell these and buy them or do a swap / trade i will be happy , as the mot guy did mention my current lights are emitting a funny light pattern but due to a recent change in mot reg there still pass
