      Thanks Keith. It was indeed alot easier than I thought it would be. The biggest fear to get over is making the first cut.

          I bought some APC side markers that were clear and painted them amber. Then I measured exactly how this thread showed and installed. Easy to do, and they look great at night. Even if you don't have JDM 1 piece headlights you can still wire the corner turn signal and the sidemarkers together by using a pig tail. it's not too difficult and they both work in unison when signalling and when using caution. Good write up

That is the bulb that is not used when using JDM one-piece headlights. I removed the socket that's conntected to the stock wiring and plugged in the custom wiring harness I made.



            If this is still confusing, I'll try to get pictures of what I am talking about.
            so you only use one bulb? i was wondering about that. It doesnt make your blinkers any faster right? Because i was lookin into the front bumper stay ons... this time with my 2dr. Hmm..... let me know how this turns out

                  Clean car and nice write-up. One concern though. Are the only things holding the sidemarkers in place the fact that they fit snug to the fender wall and the sockets? I didn't see any type of clip or anything on the back of the lights.

                  ...adjust accordingly

                            where are you guys running the wires through? Im assuming from the corner light entry just above the fender liner...

                              I just wanted to post a huge thanks for this DIY.
                              Extremely helpful. Did mine and looks great.
                              I can't express enough how important it is to put the extra masking tape around the area that is being cut. My dremel caught an edge and made a nice little "pig tail" in my paint. With the extra tape around the edges, I would have saved myself that little mistake. I gives just enough protection if you happen to slip. Of course the tape won't protect against the dremel for long.
