I know that anyone can fit clears, I tried them myself. I'm not talking about putting them on, I'm talking about fixing the lights. Then what do you guy suggest how to fix my turn signals?

Here's the full list of what parts are missing

1)covers
2)connectors
3)pigtails
4)bulbs
5)sockets

I think watchyosix is saying is that the damned thieves cut the wiring harness in half and took the bulb sockets along with the clear side marker lenses. The socket wiring harnesses are NOT included with the lenses when you buy a clear lenses replacement kit. Those harnesses are also hard wired all the way deep inside the side fenders and are a total pain in the ass to replace. That's where half the parts cost and the majority of the labor costs went.

watchyosix, if you're using CA glue, you can also get dissolvers for that glue too. I'm not too sure if they are paint safe, but it should help when you really are in a situation where you need to get the side markers off.

And people steal the side markers 'cause they'll fit onto other "more affordable" Hondas that shithead kids drive. Just like our seats...

CA glue is short for cyanoacrylate glue. It's a really popular type of superglue that used in the hobby industry. Hot Stuff kind of kicked off the whole CA glue movement. This is the stuff that dries in seconds and has some incredible holding strength if the material is slightly porous or rough. Though I seemed to remember it worked pretty well on smooth surfaces too.

You can now get all sorts of different types and thicknesses of CA glues, plus spray-on accelerators to make the glue set instantly. I also think the medical profession uses it to glue cuts in skin shut. This stuff is notorious for gluing fingers together. It smells like super concentrated pine tree sap. I was partial to the Carl Goldberg SuperJet stuff when I was building R/C planes as a kid. I'm not too sure you can get CG SuperJet any more, but put CA glue into Google and look for all the hits.
