Broke Sidemarker piece, need new one!!

I was trying to install white LED bulbs in my side markers and accidentally broke a little piece inside the little white piece, and now it doesn't work. where can i buy just that piece? or are there any smoked side marker kits that replace that part as well


White piece is what i need

Just splice it in instead of using the connector. It does normally plug into the bulb slot, but there's enough wire on them to do a splice. That connector doesn't go into the led side marker assembly. You plug the wires from the led assembly into the connector and then put it down inside the fender. The led assembly is one solid piece.

Exactly. Snip the wire to the black socket that the white piece plugged into. You can leave enough wire to reconnect it in the future if you want. There's about 6 inches of wire on the LED Side Marker so there's plenty of wire to work with.

Love that car of yours! Even if it is a sedan... :>)
