That's nasty. I've heard that inner fenderwell tearout is common, but how did it take your lights with it?

P.S. Check the junkyards for the parts. Chances are you won't be disappointed.

Wow, I swear to god the same thing happened to me last summer I was on my way to the cape and I hit a bump at about 95 and the inner fender plastic riped out and the corner lamp looked like it exploded then came up and hit the windsheild, then shattered on the highway. It ripped out both buld sockets and their plugs on the harness. Its weird that the exact same thing happened to you

well i have no clue how it got my corner lights out

but it took the screw that holds it too,

i didnt lose my corner lens,,it just kept hitting the fender
so i pulled off,,and took a look

all od my platic clips that keep the inner wheel well in place r still there
except the one on the bottom,,under the front of the car

,,today i went to a honda dealer
got a new inner wheel well liner
51$$
and the socket for the far corner lens--5$$$

not bad
and im glad the new socket just plugged right in,i thought i was gonna have to rewire it or something

i do need to mount my corner lens tho,,
right now its just sitting in spot

i am gonna zip tie those damn inner wheel well liners now
,,
when it flew off ,,it was 10 PM,,and the way my light came out,,it looked like something blew up.

well thanks for the help
and lets hope we never speak of this again

mike
