Tools/Materials:
Turn Signal
Dremel
Wire Crimpers
Wire Connectors
Drill
Clear Paint
Time:
Aprox. 20min depending on your wireing skills

The key here is to take your time and measure a couple times BEFORE you cut.


Measure a couple times
Cut out the square hole w/ the dremel
Slide on the turn signal and mark where the screw hole needs to be drilled. MAKE SURE THE TURN SIGNAL IS LEVEL!!
Drill the hole with the turn signal off so you don't damage it
Use clear paint to go over the parts you have cut on to stop the fenders from rusting
Now wire it up (more details will be added shortly)
Install Euro trim or paint over the existing sidemarkers (haha for off road use only ;), I think I have to say that, but use your own judgment)

Pictures aren't showing up - where do you cut the square hole, how big is it? I have a set of these on the shelf that I haven't gotten to yet.

I can't believe that I just made that but hope it helps, Let me know if you need it to be explained

OK its not going to show up right UNLESS you press "quote" on that post. Just do that to look at it.
