This mod was quite simple. I just used an exact-o knife to cut out the red reflector because the 2 bolts holding it in were too badly rusted for me to get them off.

I started small and just kept shaving until I could wedge the new side markers in.

Then I just removed my rear lights and reached down and grabbed the wires and connected them to my rear indicator.

Since there are already amber bulbs in the rear lights I doubt that you would get into any problems. The markers are Junction Produce and I got them from another CL member. I don't think he has any more though :|
