side markers? take the screw out of the top, and pop them out. There is a ball clip that attaches them to the headlight housing support beam, so you will have to pop that out. If needed I can make a write up for you tomorrow. But by searching the answer with pics could be found

I think he may be referring to the bmw style that go on the fenders.

No write up really, but you use a step drill bit to drill the hole, make sure you measure the distance so it is identical on pass. and drv. side. For the wiring I spliced the turn signal wire for the side marker positive and wired ground to ground. You probably have to remove the screws to the inner splash guard to run the wires. I didn't do it for looks but for safety, I remember a few times before I decided to install these, I was about to get over and saw a vehicle with side markers trying to get in the same lane, it helps.

Exactly why I wanted it. I was about to merge with the guy in the other lane and I saw him. However he would have seen me if I had them. I'm all about safety with my daughter in the back. Gotta be safe.
I'm looking for side markers that have only a round hole in the back to make the install simple. Where yours like that? Or did you have to cut out a rectangle?

Mine just had the round deal so it was easy to install.

No I don't have a closer pic but when you get them you will eyeball it and figure out where they need to go.

I got these many years ago but they are no longer available.

These will probably work.

How do they stay locked in with just a round hole? I can't figure out if I want oval or square side markers. It would be great if someone can photoshop some.

There are 2 screw holes once you remove the lens.

You could always do the mirrors with blinkers.

I didn't say I liked them, just you were wanting side markers. You need to look at trailer markers or the motorcycle sites. Those are usually the type of places for small hole applications.

I'm going to paint them amber to match my corners. Not a fan of the clear.

Now I have to figure out how to wire them so they go on with the lights and work with the turn signals.
