I haven't had any difficulty with mine. If you break them, s2ki marketplace has them for around $35.

Yes...I've broken two ambers myself - both on the same side, of course.

Anybody know if Honda upgraded the little clip for the later models?

Thanks in advance!

Well the search function is pretty cool. Everything thats come up with my car i just do a lil search and my answer is there.


In my latest installment, I took the car to a hand car wash, got back to the office and the side marker is just hanging off the car. I'm like wtf? I dried snapping it on or osmething but I dont see a way to do it it just sits loose.

So someone above said they just used a lil silicone and pasted it on there. whats the correct way to do this? any recommendation on type of cylicone?

The car is still under warranty, is that something that they would fix?

Thanks

Kevin.
