Bad design regardless of wether its aftermarket or OEM its just a bad cheap design
True... I guess the plastic is cheap... the heat from the radiator and block make the shells and clips so brittle... the right side amber one I replaced shattered in my hands...

Daughter lost her right side clear corner not long after installed. Bulb and socket were kind enough to remain with the car. She is back to good old factory corners and they have yet to leave the car on their own. So where do all of these right side corners go to hide? We looked everywhere daughter had been and could not find it.

Im on my 4th set in 3 years. They are elusive little buggers, I can watch the thing fly past me in the window, stop go look for an hour not find a thing! BTW, I too use the tie wraps, and they still come out.... I hate those lights more than anything.

And they are not cheap either, at least $40 a pop for new Bosch ones!

Lucky!

(That your connector, socket and bulb stayed with you!)

Maybe they go to some kind of car light heaven?
