    Well, this is excellent work.

    Not sure if it was mentioned already, but I hope you cleaned those leaves out! :lawl:

    Great write-up, I am still debating on whether to do side markers....maybe I will bug simon_y(he's local for me) about it and see if he is up for the task.......:squintwave:

    Hahaha...thanks, bro.

    C'mon now....don't pay anyone to do something simple like this. There's a special satisfaction that comes with getting down and dirty with your own car.

    Your problems sound like nothing a little reading and common sense can't solve! Try both things out and see if that gives you a little more confidence. It's not hard bro! If you're more worried about wiring than actual cutting than I'm impressed, but also dumbfounded.

    Wiring is clearly outlined in a few DIY's here, and two methods of it too - regular and JDM style.

    Your rear markers won't need to get re-wired no matter what you do - just get new lenses.

    A GREAT modern DIY by the OP, I'd give rep again if I could. Just follow the instructions Ryan and do what is being outlined in this DIY.

    I just did this DIY today. Took me about 2hrs total. Very easy to do with dremel. I only tried this install because of this thread so thank you. I used the bump-out jdm eg style.
