Sorry to hear the bad news Shiela. It seems that beautiful cars that you care about attract bird crap, dents, vandels, and thieves.
No matter where you park it they just find you.
It reminds me of the first dent on my RSX I was so mad but there was nothing I could do about it.

Sheila,
If I read your post correctly, you've still got your sidemarker...but its retaining clip is busted? Never-fear...silicone is here!
. You might consider just squirting some silicone against the backside of the sidemarker. Once you fit it back into place, spread a strip of painter's tape across the sidemarker/fender to hold in place while silicone sealant sets up. Should be good as new 
And silicone isn't 'glue'...so in the event you need to swap a bulb, it wouldn't prove overly difficult to free from your fender.
Anyway, might give it a try until you've worked something better out

Sorry to hear this Sheila. I have a smoked set coming from Rick's and will have a clear set available. The clear set I have are painted with Testers tint. The tint paint comes right off. I can remove the tint. i also have a set of OEM orange too. 
Let me know if you want them.

.The only question is will it keep the sidemarker in-place at the speed of sound (we all know how Sheila drives)?
I'd try the silicone before buying a new one.
Excellent suggestion, w1ngman, and I may do that in the interim. 
Next couple of cold ones are on me!

I had the same problem with mine that I got from Rick's. I think I'll get some from Mulder's scource
I bought some off ebay that were honda OEM. No problem so far.
