Euro Sidemarker Install? - Focaljet

**SilverBullet18** · 05-19-2008, 10:40 AM

Has anyone installed the triangle euro sidemarkers on the factory fender? I can't afford to get the euro fenders and have them painted but I think I can install the sidemarkers myself. I was just wondering if anyone has done it before and has any tips on how to do it, thanks.

cut them using dremel and fit it in..
washer reservoir may be in its way..

i splitted the side marker and coverted to led, so i can just stick onto it with only small holes for the wires to go through..

Great, I was hoping I could do something like that and just drill a hole for the wires instead of having to cut it out, thanks focusonfocus!

So it's easier with the euro fenders? Right?

the euro focus will also look much cleaner. Not only does it already have the hole drilled, it has a recessed triangle. The NA bumper will be left with a fairly thick, raised triangle. Minor issue when comparing stock NA sidemarkers to EU sidemarkers.
