I agree with this assumption I had the Helix's for like 4 months, went to pull my bumper off to do a reinstall of the winjets and not only did the clips snap, but when I checked my LED sidemarkers you could see a brownish tinge on both sides from moisture entering the sidemarker. With the JDM sidemarkers no such issues, I looked at them after driving through some crazy rainstorms after another 3 months no such moisture marks on the new LEDs.

Also when I put on the stock Amber ones it's almost perfect as well. It just won't sit 100% flush but it's way more secure. I compared the back of both the oem and helix sidemarkers and they are the exact same thing, I don't get it

Like I said before, did you take the bumper off at all?
