I think I saw somewhere that someone has a write up on how to install sidemarkers. Can someone give me a link? Cumalot, can you tell me how you did your wiring. I'm thinking I want to wire mine the same way you did.
Thanks

What I did was make a little cardboard "template" showing me where the sidemarkers will be, so that way they will be even on both sides. Then I taped the sidemarkers on backwards, so that they are face down on the fender. Then I made a mark on the fender where the hole needs to be using a bit that fits inside the sidemarer hole, I beieve I used a 1/2" bit. Then I removed the sidemarker, and drilled the hole using the 3/4" drill bit. Then I put the sidemarker in, and drilled the two holes for the mounting screws. I bought my bit at Ace Hardware, it was about $15. As far as wiring, I connected the brown wire the the positive wire from the corner light, and connected the gray wire to the positive wire from the turn signal. I had to run wires to both. Don't connect them to the battery, or else they will be on all the time. If you wire them the way I said, they will come on with your parking/headlights, and they will flash with the turn signals too. If you need any more help, let me know.

Do not wire them to the parking lights. Turn signal repeaters are only supposed to light when your turn signals/hazards are flashing. Wire them to the hot lead of the front bumper turn signals (the pair at the front of the bumper). Make sure you put a little sealant to prevent moisture from entering the hole you just cut in the fender. In fact, it might not be a bad idea to put a little touch up paint on the exposed metal area that you just cut into.
