..and I really like this feature. Both from a styling standpoint, as most Euro cars have this, but from a safety standpoint too. This car is low and the more visibility you can offer for signals the better.

They're in the fenders, not quarter panels.

those clips get very brittle with age,once the front clip snaps off there isn't any more pressure keeping the lamp tight and it falls out. They often break when you try to service the bulbs due to them being so brittle, I guess it's just a matter of time before they break on their own.
