Measure twice, cut once! That's the key!

Nice job, looks very nice especially when seen on your video. It's a bold modification but with no guts there's no glory. Job well done!

Looks like a pro install. Heck this is my 3rd set of markers I have installed, so I took it slow. The markers were original Harrier markers and they just snapped in easy. As I said the cutting is the key. You will need practice on how to use the dremel tool.

I did not post the DIY on this side repeater DIY but since nobody asked, forgot all about it. It is not for the faint at heart. Cutting sheet metal takes guts! LOL.

Yeah the Australian ones come with this by default. Also noticed that our headlights are slightly different from the US ones with an orange indicator in the actual light. The Australian ones are clear.

Good job by the way mandyfig, looks like a factory fit.

You mean the bulb looks clear, but does it light up amber? There are bulbs which are chrome but light up amber. If I ever need to replace my signals, that's what I will replace it with.

No side repeaters will stay as is and no change on the side mirrors.

It was a lot of work for the side mirror change. Nice upgrade with teh puddle lights, but a lot of work. I am happy with the plain side mirror for now.
