I have yet to get side marker lights for the holes which were covered by GS symbols. A couple of weeks ago at the NECEG meet Elky told me that someone had found side marker lights that fit directly into the holes. I believe it would be a 1.25in diameter circle. I did a search and came up empty. Does anyone know of these side marker lights? or a good pair to get?

PM him for pics; he's a picture whore anyway. They're not exactly plug and play, but they're close. You'll have to do a fair amount of grinding/sanding to the light. It honestly is easier to take a little sander drum on the Dremmel and open the hole up just a tiny bit. There is a how-to with pics on the main site that has all the pics you want.

Look like they belong there did you tint them yourself or did you they come like that? Because a quick spray of niteshades could do it right probably? 1998 Mercury Mystique LS - Looking for SVT EXHAUST, SVT Rear bumper (silver frost) and ANY rocker mouldings (side skirts)

Bought a set off ebay for <$10 shipped, and they look great! The back side requires no sanding or cutting...its just a smooth (insert wisecrack here) shaft. I'll see if I can find the link... Edit: Here ya go. Sidemarkers They look great in real life..better than the pics Last edited by iluvmytour; 08/24/06 12:16 AM.
