I just received my 99 spec bumper and turn signals today in the mail. But one thing concerns me. the 99 spec turn signals say it is made in taiwan and doesn't say "mazda" anywhere. and it also came in a blank box. i was wondering if these were aftermarket or oem. can anyone help me? thanks in advance.

Are they stamped with any other markings, part numbers, etc? Do they look OEM quality, or replica quality?

I'll bet 1000% the are not oem. here is the easy way to tell. look at the connector. if it's the same as your old lights, that is the new lights plug right into the stock harness, they are not OEM. The OEM lights require you to splice the wires, or get an adaptor so they will plug in. The aftermarket lights come with the correct plug to work with any 93 and up

That is true. I know there are some knockoffs out there that use the stock harness and plug right in. That is a good way to tell.
