JDM clear sidemarker fitment issues
 
Has anyone had issues with the JDM sidemarkers fitment? On my car on both sides, they go in, but they have a lot of movement and are not as tight fitting as the OEM orange ones?

I'd take pics but they look normal, just I can move them around quite a bit.

Means you didnt install right.

Try redoing it

Yes that's very helpful insight there. I've taken it out like 3 times and re done it, still loose. It's not really rocket science to install, all you do is push it back in?

people say that it's very tricky to remove and install. some even bent/broke clips and such parts. maybe you did?

if not, then maybe you can ask a replacement, might be a defective piece

No one else has had this issue on here? I talked to the only person I know IRL who has one of these and he had the same issue?

you are wrong about that

in the DIY thread there was a mention that the tabs that hold the lights it get bent really easily

Darren I believe had to mount his one side marker by drilling and strapping it down

I had problems with my passenger side, it still hasn't snapped in all the way. I don't want to mess with it anymore because the clips are about to give out.

The driver side though, snapped in right away with no effort.

This always happens to me when I install something, one side is always fine, straight forward install, then the opposite side gives me problems. :mad0260:
