Hello,

Jdm clear side markers wouldn’t fit. It stated from Icb Motorsports just plug in installation. First clip for bulb wouldn’t snap in place and just slides right out. Second when put together to snap back into place it didn’t clear inside of fender.

Hello,
I tried both sockets and wouldn’t fit to clear inner fender. I’ll trim two tabs off of the four like stated in the link above.

That's what most people do, use your stock plugs, then trim the tabs.

It's so weird because all I did was swap the sockets on mine and it worked... Biggest issue for me was the short harness. lol

Because Honda has these side markers made in many different countries, and each market has its own version.

Those made in Southeast Asia use smaller plugs with two tabs, and there are some made in EU countries use the smaller plugs with 4 tabs.

I was on the phone with Icb Motorsports and they said ordered from Japan and manufactured in Brazil.

From what I remember one of the sides was difficult to get in with the bulb socket attached. You may have to insert the socket after installing the clear lens .

Do what he says.

You will notice that the larger tab is on the top for the amber, and it's at the bottom on the clear one. The plug might not be paralleled with the side marker once you lock it, which gets in the way when you try to put it in back into the fender.

My OEM ones were ordered from Thailand but made in China. I had to trim the two tabs at 12 and 6 o'clock. At first, I didn't think they would fit due to the larger front tab on the sidemarker itself, but it did clip in. This was with the socket installed.

I swap the oem clear out and put the oem amber in, no problem. Guess we all suffer the grass is greener syndrome.

I've have kept the oem clear if it's made like the amber one with reflector. Depo makes them, but I don't like the quality of Depo.
