Hey All

I am going to be installing side markers in a week or so and was wondering if I could get some pics posted. I am not sure where I want to place them on the fenders yet. I am thinking about a inch down form the body line but not sure where to put it from front to back.

Cheers

1 inch space is how the oems have it overseas like this. dont forget the bump faces the rear.

That's a real clean install, Gearbox! Did you do that yourself following the steps from the DIY link? I'm looking at doing the same thing. I think the clear will look really nice on my white paint.

yeah i diyed those. theyre from the newest si hatch (pre 06). i messed up on them cutting and was real rough, so they were loose and had to be glued on. i used plumbers goop from the back side and just went around where it touched the fender. seems to be holding just fine. i used sheet metal nibblers which worked but you cant really cut in a straight line, its more like a hole punch. be sure to use touchup paint on the cuts before putting the marker on. but overall it worked out i guess. theyre a tiny bit crooked but not that bad. i have those autozone amber 4-led bulbs in em for a clear look with amber light. you just need the lens and the bulb socket with harness plug if you order from dealer.

Hahaha...hopefully yours won't turn out as crooked as that guy's. Butchered.

LOL! I didn't know there was a "passwordCanada.com". I have seen those same fenders on passwordJDM (probably same ppl) and have concidered getting them. Especial since my hood and fenders need a fresh coat of paint to due a little valve cover gasket incident on the freeway. Thanks for the links.

And to Gearbox...nice work! I think they turned out well despite the trouble you had. I have the same pair of LED's that you're talking about. Used them as frt pkg lights till I got a set of crazy-bright white ones.

yeah theyre bright enough for now, eventually i will retrofit a brighter led in there. also i heard those precut fenders dont have perfect fitment. someone here got em and said it didnt line up properly with the rest of the car.

well here is the new pic with custom 4 amber superflux leds put in. prolly at least 2x brighter than the autozone led bulbs and wider coverage.
