Hi all,

So I have been using my car as intended and may have hit a certain orange cone going at speed. The result is that the plastic tab that holds in the side marker is completely broken (I taped the darn thing in for now). There is also magically a chip in the finish on the literal tiny corner of the front fender that the XPel clearbra didn't cover (OEM touch up paint pen took care of that)

I see that people are using zip-ties and all kinds of creative ways to keep their side marker in there once they come loose.

I instead opted to just buy a factory replacement, since I found that you could get one side new for under 30 bucks.

TL;DR/Question: Will a new side marker housing be secure (well, as secure as this outgoing one got wrecked) and contain all of the clips I need?
