Side markers

I am thinking about putting on some side marker lights on my max. I just wanted to know how difficult they are to install and how to wire them. Does anyone have any experiences

The hardest part is getting up the nerve to cut holes in your fenders...

Some require only a hole for wires...mine (BMW sidemarkers) required a rectangle be cut in the fender...I used a dremel after measuring 1000 times to get it right...and you can splice the running light or blinker to the front whichever you prefer.

Check my homepage for pics on lighting and exterior

Please wire them to the blinker, that's what they are intended to be used for.

Wiring them to be on with the running lights is

Wow amigo, those are some nice side markers. Out of curiousity, where in Texas did you used to live? Oh, and do you have a write up on those side markers. That's a darn good idea and I might want to try something similar, but not identical.

My problem exactly. I've had the markers laying around for a couple months, no guts to cut the hole...gonna have to get someone else to do it while I cover my eyes...
