Reported cause
The problem is the plastic tab that holds the metal spring clip in place was made too thin.
Leading evidence: 'plastic tab' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'plastic tab' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust spring clip i was never able' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Mine lasted over a year before I replaced with the OEM euro side markers.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has anyone else purchased these?
Side Marker
Within 2 weeks I found the passenger side one loose and upon checking it the clip that holds it in is broken from the plastic. Anyone else had experience with these?
They are absolute crap!!! I bought them new from ECS and within one week they were both hanging off the side of my car. I sent them back for a refund.
It's a design problem. The problem is the plastic tab that holds the metal spring clip in place was made too thin. They snap off during installation when the spring pops over the body. Since this spring clip is all that holds these in place once it's broken after driving a few days the spring clip falls off the back of the housing, down into the bumper, and the light housing falls out.
I special ordered the European version of OEM Porsche side markers (smoked/clear) and installed them w/ amber LED bulbs. They work great, cost a bit more, but will last for about forever.
I have the Depo LED taillights too, no problems with those they seem to be a quality piece unlike the front side markers.
BTW my Dad has a 1972 TR6, restored original. Cool cars!
I have them, they haven't fallen off. But they aren't flush with the body work so it's not as clean as I'd like. Also the led's are very bright, they make my litronics looks dull, which I guess could be remedied by new bulbs.
If I had to do it again, I'd just get the clear euro's.
EDIT - Just noticed the seller - I'd avoid them. I wouldn't call it a scam, but there was something weird going on. Someone kept calling in and changing the delivery address mid-shipment. It took three attempts and two weeks to get it. It would've happened again if the delivery driver didn't call me directly to ask WTF.
I sent them pictures of the issue and they gave me two options. I could send it back, they would pay for shipping and then would send me a new one which means I do not have a side marker for however long that would take. Or, I can leave them a good review, pay $10 for shipping and they will send me a new one. Neither of the options are very attractive and for the cost of the lights you would think they would last more than two weeks.
"BTW my Dad has a 1972 TR6, restored original. Cool cars!"
TR6 is a lot of fun!
Mine lasted over a year before I replaced with the OEM euro side markers. The LED fixtures just didn't fit properly - very loose. Even adjusting the spring clip I was never able to get a snug fit. I've purchased 5 or 6 items from Fishcake321 on eBay and never had an issue.
