*Warning* The clear side markers for the regular Civic don't fit the Type R

[gearhead]

I've read all 12 pages. Yikes. What is the difference between these 2 genuine HONDA OEM parts?

1. 33850 (L) / 33800 (R) TEM-M01

2. 34350 (L) / 34300 (R) TET-H01

Where is the best source to purchase option 1. and option 2. ?

Thanks!

33850 (L) / 33800 (R) TEM-M01 it costs anywhere between $150-$220 US depends on where you find it. The ends of the side marker are like stock and match to the fender liner. They also have the 4 socket insert do you don't have to modify and shave off the two tabs on the light socket. They also install a lot easier because of the shape of the side marker which is like the stock ambers.

34350 (L) / 34300 (R) TET-H01 costs anywhere from $30-$50 US some mofos charge more than that and I think that sucks because you have to modify the tabs for it to fit as well as it can be a bitch installing them because of how the back is shaped which isn't like stock. The huge buzz kill at least for me is that there is a gap between the side marker and fender liner which depending on how OCD you are can be annoying and making you just splurge and get #1. Here is a pic of the side maker gap. Note it's a smoked version but its the same side marker that 33850 (L) / 33800 (R) TEM-M01 is based on.

Regular Civic clears are not a pain to install..from start to finish with even cut the 2 extra tabs off the bulb sockets took all of 15mins max. And fit like OEM

I hadn't tried it like that, I'll have to give it a shot like that. Did your lite socket look like the one i posted. Everyones mentioning having to trim a tab and mine wasnt like that, or that style

Did you buy the legit $150 clear marks for R that require no modification..or the ones meant for regular civic.$50.that requires taking 2 tabs off socket like in vid above

European/EDM market factory type-r clear corners do not fit, the interesting part is the bulb socket is correct 4 prong instead of 2.

Exact issue im having. When I get home im going to see what part number I have. My sockets on the new JDM clears have the four openings as the factory amber light but do not seem to fit in my fender

Yes, I'll be posted pics and part # tonight. You can see the Honda logo on the pic Ive posted previously.

Ones I got...just required smoothing 2 tabs on socket
