Some sidemarkers are incorrectly advertised as JDM and are not genuine Honda equipment.
You can afford to have 3 HANDA clear sidemarkers stolen for every 1 set of HTG or RICKS. No brainer if you ask me, unless your car is a garage queen and never left alone outside in rough areas. In which case OEM is the only way to go.
But one would think a Honda/Acura dealership is selling OEM parts, no?

That makes sense for one. Handa claims its retailed at 12 and they sell it at 9, but it's one side.
Would make sense both costing 24, and would make sense then that handa isn't selling knock-offs.
Suppose you get better bulbs with ricks or something, but is it worth it?
On a side note, do I just need the connector replaced or is there a whole cable I will need to purchase?

I'd call your local dealer and see if they have the side markers there. It's one case where I believe you don't need to go online and wait for shipping.

No one is reading here (well, except for MikeyCB). He can't just buy side markers because they stole at least one of the sockets (maybe both?). Here is the theft repair kit:

60 bux is a little steep, especially considering I only need the connector on one side.
I'm thinking I would need:
"New connectors to attach to the bare wires and then plug into the socket."
The socket for the bulbs should come with the markers no?
Thanks a lot for all the help! Trying not to get bent out of shape over some tricks.

$30 at HTG
$25 at RICKS
$9 at HANDA-ACCESSORIES.COM
I never understood why anyone would buy from HTG or Ricks when you can get them for $9 lol....
there can't be any difference can there?
