Default Are these real "vision"-how to tell???

Might sound like a dumb question but hopefully somone can help me out. I'm looking to get some new amber vision corners. and i ran across these on ebay.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...26692

i asked the seller if they were the visions and he said they were. If anyone can give me a hand that would be helpful. Or if anyone is selling any, please let me know.

No, those are fake. Real Visions will either say 'Vision' or 'Stanley' on it.

Thanks for the Quick replies now i'm just contemplating if i should just settle for fakies or try to get some nice "real" ones...i knew the price was too cheap to be real- but i guess one hangs on to that little hope...(which was just shattered) ANYONE SELLING ANY VISIONS?? haha (back to the classifieds for me)

I have cheap fake ones off ebay and they work fine. They align right and don't look too bad.

they look like knockoff ebay specials to me...they work just fine, it is just up to preference whether you want to have the real ones or the fakes...no one will really be able to tell but you...

??? lets not confuse the poor guy with WRONG! information. visions are visions and stanleys are stanley... they never jointly made anything.

vision= amber corners, never clear corners, insignia of vision only
stanley= only clear corners , never made ambers , insignia of stanley only and is oem for the jdm cars.


real vision amber corners will have a light grey backing.. that is the only way to tell a real from a fake.

fakes will have black, or silver metallic backings. all the codes and the vision insignia will be on the fakes.. the only way to tell the real from fakes are through what color backing they have...

vision smoked corner
