Popped a side marker?
Noticed yesterday that the left side marker light was a bit askew. Checking it out the tab closest to the wheel is broken and gone, a second tab was broken but hanging in there. There's no other damage around the area at all.
Last time I had it out it was a very spirited country road drive with a couple other cars that was over 100km round trip. I didn't catch air or bottom out at all but not all the roads were smooth either and we were givin 'er pretty good. Are the side markers prone to breaking while driving hard? I can't think of any other good reason for it to have broken. |

They are more prone to breaking when being replaced lol. Hopefully someone didn't steal it while you were parked or something.

Pretty sure it hasn't been stolen lol, and I can't imagine someone with intention of vandalizing would just yank on the side marker, but who knows. |

I'm starting to think it was just a good bump that popped it. Race car stuff you know. |

It isn't a sport until parts start to fly off.
