I've been putting up with my corner lights randomly coming off the fender for too long and after having a state patrol officer give my car a second look today cause one was hanging by the wires I figured its time to get new ones over a ticket. I would prefer them to have all the tabs on them still so they can't easily come off the car.

Bumping. Would like to get a set before summer really gets started and I get the urge to drive faster.

the urge to drive faster is going to get you in trouble no matter what lol. easy on that foot or you'll be in my position...

Painted hood bump.

Sunday bump. Would like to get them replaced before the big Subaru shows this summer, don't really want a light coming off on the freeway...

You can easily fix these even if the tabs are missing. Use a flexy plastic ice cream bucket, butter tub, etc, cut small rectangular pieces about same shape as the broken tabs, a little longer, an use a small fine thread screw to screw them into the corner light right where it broke.......then use hole punch for making hole for the attaching screw into fender...i have done numerous of my cars that way...

i need the passenger side one my lens broke, if anyone has extras. i have a spare driver side if you need it

One can also drill a small hole in the remainder of the tab, being careful not to crack it, and run safety wire through the hole and around the not fully tightened screw. It needn't be completely tight while installing, of course, as he would then twist the safety wire until desired tightness is achieved. The screw would then be tightened and he would then have a 'good-as-new' corner light.

+1 on that

so many fixes on this factory flaw i hope if people have good lenses on theirs, but broken mount tab, that they just fix them..
close the thread once the op finds what he wants.

If you can't find them in US, I have some good ones left in NL... Pm me if you need them, then I can try to ship them as cheap as possible to US because they don't weight much...
