sidemarkers .. easy or hard ???
well i've decided on buying some jdm DC5 / RSX sidemarkers off option auto salon . they're like 50 and come with all the wiring sockets .. bulbs .. the whole deal. just wondering how hard it is to take off the fender cut a hole to fit them in and install them to where they work. any information on how to do this too would be helpful .. thanx
here's the link for the sidemarkers

There's a diy on the site. It's actually more time consuming than hard. I've done it twice already because the first ones I got were crap. So I had to cut a new hole. Jut use the sheet metal nibblers from radioshack and a drill to make a starter hole. I did it with the fender on the car. And don't forget to buy a small bubble leveler, to make sure they're parallel. Go slow, because you only get one chance to make a hole.

Rep Power: 0 I don't think it takes too much time. It took me half an hour for one side and ten minutes for the other. What I think it really takes is *****. If you don't have the ***** to cut your fenders and get a feel for some slightly more intermediate body working, then just don't even waste your time because you won't do it right unless you got the *****.
