I have JDM ones.. The driver side still pops out.. clips are a crappy design, I just keep popping them back in place.

If the clips aren't damaged, and you don't hit your bumper on things, they really shouldn't pop out. My originals were fine for years until I finally clipped a snow bank during ice racing. Then I got JDM clear ones, and those have been fine since.

The design is far from ideal, but it shouldn't become a constant problem unless you constantly hit curbs or something, lol.

My OEM JDM clears are also a perfect fit. I will admit that the clips can be a little tricky and sometime it sounds like they've clipped in but they haven't. When they actually clip in, it should be nice and secure and should NOT pop out.

Whether it's leaks, condensation or UV damage, aftermarket housings never seem to stand the test of time, so I always go with OEM for lighting stuff.
