Clear lenses, marker light sockets don't fit right

I put clear lenses in my car today, and the marker light sockets do not want to snug up into the lens. They click into the OEM lenses fine, but just want to spin in the clear lenses. The clear lenses don't seem to have a definite groove for the sockets to click into. Anyone else have this problem?

My Stangmod clear lenses do the same thing. At least for the small bulbs.

Simple, send them back, get a refund, get these instead, cheaper and they fit:

Nice post Josh, gonna order a set today. If you don't mind me asking, what did you do for bulbs? Can't tell if you have 'em, but in PA we need the amber turn signal bulbs.

thanks again

I bought mine used and just decided to leave them on. My car is not a DD and after being installed 2 years, had no ill effects from them not locking into place.

Get some Stealth bulbs as they are silver until illuminated, but turn amber when turned on.
