messed up blinkers?

yesterday, i was trying to change the bulb in my blinker. in the book it says you have to take off the fender clips and peel back the inner fender. i did not get the lights in because my hand could not get all the way to the bulb to change it. anyways, when i was trying to put the fender clips back on and the little peice on the end broke. this happened to 3 of them. i cant find the right kind at autozone, so if they arent on, can water get into the turn signal housing and mess up the bulbs? can someone please tell me how to get that damn bulb out? it is near impossible!!

I'd try the Acura dealer if you can't find the right fit anywhere else. Definitely, make sure those things are on, you don't want rattling, more dirt, etc. Tough to get to the bulbs. U basically have to stick your arm all the way in and bend the fender liner all the way out to make room for your arm. It's a crappy design. Even my dodge caravan, they have these little latches that open up to allow u to get to the bulbs without the same hassle. Secret is to pull out the fender liner more than one would intially think you needed to, and make room for your arm to move around.

i thought i pulled it out far enough. i dont want it to be all loose. how much do you think the dealer will charge for the fender clips?
