Nice Job Phuong, so when are you helping me install some haha lol, super impressed, they came out sweeeeeet; cant wait to see them when I come over or next wkends meet
is installing side markers hard to do you like soder the wire straight to the blinker wire?
the wiring should be easy...just splice up the wires together, electrical tape, etc....sodering would be the best way to connect them, but not a necessity
the hard part would be the cutting of the fender/molding...that's what always stops me from doing them. And I have a set of sidemarkers that I was gonna use!
Very nice Phuong, when you showed them to us last meet I was waiting to see what they would look like and the wait paid off. They look awesome. I think...no I know I will be doing this mod in the near futire with clears in my side molding. As a matter of fact my car sits at CarBoy Racing right now getting a lot of work done to it and I will just add this to the bill. I will show you guys picks of the latest mods. For this reason I cant make the meet this weekend, but I look forwarde to the next one to see you guys. Great job again on the markers!

I love how those came out, did you take the molding off im assuming? i would be so scared to cut with it on the car. im interested in doing this mod, we can talk on the 19th about it.
Thanks Wyatt, sure we can talk more about it.

Yes, you're right; connect the wires would be very easy, no matter what you choose splice or solder, as long as they light up, but I found out soldering make my work easiest.

Thanks again for all of your feedbacks and i'm very glad to hear that you guys like them as much as i do. OK cutting those rubber moldings were the hell of hard part after all and Wyatt you're right I had to remove both moldings and 2 holding clips from behind, set them flat on a piece of wood and start outline first, then cut it very slowly. They are very damn hard rubber pieces to cut with, so it's not easy like cutting a piece of paper ... Here are some type of knifes that I used: XACTO, Stanley cutting box knife, 2 pieces of rubber used for outline the moldings ... drill pit ... if hurry, you can hurt for yourself and screw up the moldings ... so be very very careful if you wanna try to do this.
