Full, he posted the part numbers in the opening post.

To make your life easier:

1) Go to www.carparts.com
2) Type in "40.2502.SM" in the product search box.
3) Order it.

Code, are you sure these flatter ones can accomodate the stock bulbs? How?

As you can tell, I've never fooled around with the sidemarkers before.

Smu2000;our side markers are $50.00 including shipping and new bulbs.
Our clear or smoked side markers are yes more expensive but(I saw the one from Carparts)also of a better quality(IMHO)

I have these same sidemarkers as well. They are universal honda sidemarkers and they do look decent at a glance.

However, they really aren't made that great. They will stay together, but they kind of look like someone peiced them together with their own hand cut peices of plastic and some crazy glue. What I don't like about them is that you can see the glue that holds the clear plastic to the black frame. Again, this is only when you go right up to them and look at them, but there is a definite reason for the $35.00 price difference between the clears that look just like the stock ones and these.

I'll probably end up getting the expensive ones next summer. I would actually put my orange ones back in but I broke one of the peices off that holds it to the body of the car. So I'm stuck with the cheap clears for now.

But these are an OK buy for $15.00, but definitely not a great buy.

Well quite honestly, I purchased the $50 kind of clear side markers and I thought they were crap. The fit was terrible and they didnt look any better than the cheap kind. I had to modify it a little so that it would even work. But for $14 you cant go wrong. My new ones fit perfect, no movement whatsoever and unless you have your face right up against the marker, you arent going to notice anything.

I guess it's just "hit or miss" with whatever clear sidemarker you buy. I guess the $15 ones would be worth a shot rather than paying the $50 and hoping they fit.

Who knows?
