Can Someone Help Me Install Some Sidemarkers?

I just picked up a set of OEM CTR sidemarkers and I was wondering someone with experience can help me out or do the install for me. (I'll pay cash or a free complete exterior detailing depends around my schedule) I'm afraid of cutting into my fender...would rather prefer someone who has done it before. I know there's a DIY on ClubSi.com but I'm afraid to do the cutting.

Well, just make sure you measure and cut exactly where you want to. Really, how can you mess up with just drilling a hole? :P

Do you know how the wiring harness attaches to your electrical system? Just splice it in?

And, can you post the link to the DIY please

I'm torn between sidemarkers, or putting EX emblems where sidemarkers would normally go.

It's not your typical hole, you have to cut it precisely.

Huh, are those the ones you've got? There must be other options for side markers that don't require an exact stamp out in order to mount the assembly. Plus, yuck, amber :P

Well, yeah, if you don't feel confident in cutting that opening, then I'd for sure say bring it to someone who would

Good luck

those are the ctr sidemarkers, i think they look nice
i kinda prefer amber over clear, but everyone is different

does selective sound do it for 60? if so thats a good price.

i did mine, pics not the best but it was a perfect fit, just follow the template, i was scared to do mine at first as well, it's easier than you think provided you use a dremel, i would highly suggest not using a nibbler as it in most cases buckles the metal

Got the sidemarkers installed, the body shop didn't follow the template...they kinda made it up...lol...but a really tight fit. I'm really happy with them. Free of charge too!
