Hey folks, on my 2013 frs I had no problems installing the side markers (reflectors) but on the 2015 I seem to be having difficulties, does anyone know if they changed that particular area? thanks

No change to 2015. Replaced both of mine. The driver's side popped right in. The passenger side did not want to lock-in. Lie down and look up and you can see where it connects. I used a small slot screwdriver to help the clip connect. Hope this helps.

That's a good thing, the bad news is I can't seem to find the clip and I must have bend the black tab instead.

Sounds like you already fixed the problem. I have a couple of videos i did on side marker installation that might help you or others in the future

Part 1: General removal/installation tips.

Great videos! These would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. If anyone is installing side markers, these videos will help make it a much smoother installation.
