That's what most people do, use your stock plugs, then trim the tabs.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.
Because Honda has these side markers made in many different countries, and each market has its own version.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

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