Depo clear corner headlights installation - turn signal sockets

I just purchased a set of depo headlights from Unique StyleRacing for my Acura Tl 2008 and while trying to install the headlights, I noticed the turn signal sockets don't fit. Any recommendations/links so I can purchase the parts needed to complete my project? Any help is appreciated.

No, I got the correct ones, I talked to usr today, they told me to purchase type s turn signal sockets/connecters from Acura which should complete the install. I'm going to the dealership tomm to make sure they order the right parts, more to come. Once I can confirm, I'll post the parts needs along with part numbers. As expensive as these headlights are, I can't understand why it's not straight plug and play, smh.

Agreed. That's such a pita. You'd figure it's not cheap, so it should fit right at least

All base model signal sockets are 7443 while the Type-S one is 1157.

This is because the 7443 bulb is a clear bulb and gets its orange colour from the orange turn signal plastic. The 1157 bulb is a bulb that flashes orange itself.
