Installing side markers is easy -- the old ones pop right out - use a flathead screwdriver with a towel over it so that you don't damage your paint - just insert the screwdriver into one end of the sidemarker, apply moderate force and it will pop right out. You'll then remove the harness that holds the bulb (it twists off) and voila! Repeat in reverse to install new sidemarker. Good luck

ebay! several sellers always have them up there. got mine there for about $40 shipped.

or custommaxima.com

you need to decided what color bulbs you want to run. you can use yellow, red, blue, white, etc. if you want to keep the stock look/light. use yellow in front and red in rear.

if i remember correctly, my stock front bulbs where yellow. so i reused them with the clears. the rears where white, so i had to buy red bulbs for them instead.

and you don't have to use regular bulbs. alot of guys run LEDs.

yeah, i saw a lot on ebay, i just wasn't sure what the going rate was for them; plus, if htere was any place that included the lights with the rears, i guess not...

custommaxima's prices are way too high.

thanks tho, will be lookin to do this mod very soon

Side markers have to be the easiest mod. Owner's manual even tells you how to take them out.

Isn't there a ghetto mod way of clearing out the orange and red sidemarkers without buying new?

man i dont know if other people had problems with this, the right passenger side bumper light was an a$$ to pluck out. I ended up pushing some paint and messing up my corner side. Its hardly noticable, but I was ****ed. I found out that the clip that was on the Stock Side marker was not letting go, so I DUMMY forced it out.

*word of advice.... NEVER FORCE ANYTHING OUT IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING....=)*
