My daughter knocked the marker light off with her bike. Does anyone make replacement clips? I know where to get the lenses and new gaskets but I didn't see any clips listed.

The clips are part of the base. I've never heard of replacements. Nuts, bolts, and washers seem to be the fix, unless you find a nice base.

I used stainless bolts just smaller than the hole in the base with washers and locknuts. 914Rubber sells their replacement with plastic pop rivets, but I had trouble making them work.

In order to maintain originality, I've managed to remove good clips from damaged bases.

This is a fine solution. Knock the ends off the failed clip, re-drill hole if necessary and bolt em up. It's how I fixed mine.

914 rubber makes a fine gasket.

I think that was a failed copy paste but I get the idea. I will contact the Doc at AA. Thanks for all the great ideas. And as for the comment about 914rubber, I got a shipment today and wouldn't go anywhere else.

I do have a bag of the plastic clips hanging out somewhere. I'll dig tomorrow, but they are for these side markers, just like OEM.

Those are perfect. I've been using regular body christmas tree fasteners and trimming the head down to fit.
