Bargain or Junk ?

These just turned up from Thailand for less than £32 all in.
CSI Group is the logo on the sealed bags.
I'm wondering if these are the same pattern items as sold by Yambits in the UK for £23 each ?
Admittedly the photo on Yambits site (second image) looks a little different, but suppliers frequently use stock photos.
Running a fifty year old Land Rover I'm well aquainted with dealing with the lowest quality far eastern pattern parts.
Bulbs that fall out of their holders in the dead of night, earth wires that just fall off for no apparent reason etc.
Have I bought myself a bargain, or a pig in a poke ?

One man's junk is anotherman's treasure. (That doesn't sound right). Sometimes careful and thoughtful assembly can overcome some quality shortcomings.
 
Probably the same thing yamabits sells unless they state they are genuine Yamaha parts.

Here is a side by side of a genuine NOS Honda one, and a re pop from china.

From the outside, can’t tell they aren’t the same, but interns are a different story.

I couldn’t find front signals so I opted to go with these Chinese bodies with original lenses.

They will get me by until I can track down some real ones.

The biggest downside to the repop ones is they aren’t water proof.

Unless you look at the lenses for factory stallings you likely will not be able to spot the difference between them and an oem (until you open them).

Ohh and the wiring that comes off the signal is colored, most likely black from oem.
