Default side markers and stupid people

so i watched this lady's car door swing open and hit my S. it hit the drivers side turn indicator. at first it seemed to just knock it out of place, i put it back in and thought no harm no foul and went on my way. later on down the highway at a gas station i see the entire clip is broken and its dangling out of the fender. my question is where would i be able to get another without going through the dealership? or are there aftermarket ones that look better than stock. just looking for some ideas. thanks guys!

Go LED, I have a clear pair from a previous owner and love them. Very bright white. I think there ebay ones not sure though. I did a check on ebay and found multiple different sets. JS2k a sponser here has the LED bulbs but not the whole light assembly though.

Any of the usual parts sources such as Majestic (granted, they are a dealership).

Clarify what's "better" to you. Don't just assume that your notion of better sidemarkers is the same as everyone else's. Rick's, suggested above, offers clear. Whether they're better or not is a subjective matter.

i buy mine at the dealer, $11.30 each. Rick's leak(2 sets).. print the price off majestic's site if you need to and take it to the dealer. If you order ealry in the day the parts normally arrive next day. I order lots from the dealership(i have a connection and get better prices)

The sealership has them pretty cheap. The only issue I had with them was they aruged that there was no difference between normal ones and the ones on the CR... I guess he thought that all of the CR's had after market lights. Still there weren't much over $20.

Nope, as you know the CR was Clear or White(OEM) and regular was Amber. I ordered mine at the dealer and have ordered an additional 4 sets(one for me and 3 for other people) it is just the side marker for the C/R and not a base S2000. you must be dealing with someone that knows nothing about cars and shouldnt be working at a dealership
