Looks great!

Mandy

Thanks, cutting with dremel is not so easy...take it to the pros...but if you take your time and be slow, you'll be ok.

awesome!!!
Great write up.
I gotta get my side markers soon from ebay soI can do mine.

Mandy

I must admit that the inspiration for the DIY came from tmnhs81!!!!

Hopefully you get the DIY for Fogs stuck too, it is just that there's one already.

Mandy

Thank you.

Domo aregato.

Shie-shie.

Salamat.

Gracias.

For those who pushed me to do this DIY...it's your turn to battle the dremel cutter...other than this, everything's no sweat!

I like my markers....

Finally a WORD of advise, get a marker which has more than enough LIP-LID so that your hole has a lot of clearance:

My marker hole was only 1 mm, 0.04 in smaller than the bezel...so I had a tough hell of a time to make sure I did not cut the hole too big....

Find a marker which has at least 1/8 in, 3 mm bezel lip to the hole you will cut....

Intiendes? Got it? Do not make the same mistake as I did. I like mine, but would have selected another type.

Thanks.

tmnhs81

We need a video of markers in action please.

Mandy

Will post a vid of the markers in action...for now some not so great pics...I will post better pics, too:

Looks good Mandy. This gives me an idea now.

Mandy

Things to remember:

1. Get a side marker with plenty of clearance between the bezel (that covers the hole)and the hole. It would be forgiving if your hole is a bit bigger.
2. Get a side marker that's a little bit smaller than what I bought. There's plenty of smaller ones which will look good too. Generally, markers that I have seen around (BMW, Audi, VW, Subaru...) are about 2/3 size of what I purchased.

i was waiting for you to get pics up of the inspire tails before i sticky it... j/p...

tmnhs81

^Bro I am working 7 days a week, 8+ hours a day from last one month and I don't know for how long I have to keep up with this crappy schedule

Its so f****** tiring job to just drive around all day long.

I'll post pics the same day I put them on. PROMISE.

at least you get to look cool with your foglights on while you're driving all day.

Mandy

I love turning on my fogs, on demand! They always wonder what year the car is...it has all the features of a newer generation car...such as DRL...side marker...clear signals (Inspires)...shark fin antenna....

Mandy

I have to change my Avatar...

tmnhs81

I already got (s2000) wheels, Inspire tails are still sitting in my trunk. All I need is a front window tint and maybe a slight drop to break everyones neck.

This mod is so damn cool.

Mandy

Guys, I suggest you consider this marker, this is a lot better than what I put on. They have a wider lid to cover the hole. Much easier to work with. I just bought them for my CRV which I will install markers on this weekend. $10 shipped. My other one was $13 shipped. A little plain but works just the same and not a PIA hole work.

Here's the vid:

Here's the vid for the CRV markers that I put in today, using a different marker:

Mandy

I am disappointed that nobody's taken on this DIY. It is not that hard! Just make sure you have a good dremel tool!

tmnhs81

I am looking for some stick on markers if I can find any or BMW 3 series side markers with LED's.

I lost my dremel bit and want the exact measurement for the JDM location before I do it.

$10 shipped. Not the best quality but works! Easier to mount.

meazz1

Thanks Mandy for the link.

Mandy

Come on guys....anybody else up for this? It is really nice!

Mandy

Nobody has dared to cut sheet metal yet?

Come on! It is well worth it.

TLin401

I tried doing another mod that is some what like this and because that why didn't even work I doubt that I could ever do this since I couldn't figure out the mod that I attempted to work.

stas2007

i ll be up for;i ve cut metal for sidemarkers on every car i had before this one, i just need to find a good looking side-marker;
who needs dremel tool..i just used a drill before hopefully this time i ll use a dremel

TLin401

That is how I installed my passenger security light. I just marked it off, drilled, and hoped that when I was done it would fit.

Mandy

So the urge to cut sheet metal came again!

Mandy

This time, it was slow and precise! I am getting good at cutting sheet metal!

DarkNinja75

Mandy, mind posting a picture of the hole without the marker as well as the dremel head you used? I'm definitely considering doing this.

Mandy

Here's a shot, after I painted the bare metal (this shows my CRV, but should be the same):
