More than likely the Prelude which closely resembles our body style (in Japan). The 3G prelude (japanese model) had a front end similar to our TLs.

anybody know the exact measurements for the sidemarkers on the Sabers/ inspires? I have a set sitting here I might as well install, but I will not do it until I get the exact measurements.

picture of the sidemarkers? they came off a legend in Japan, identical to EK civic and Saber ones, so just take a look at the EK civic ones. I got them for $20.25 shipped from Japan.
identical to these:

Yes, the clear ones, matches my Black TL. $15 shipped. Do not know how they look like in person, but for the price, good for a try... we'll see...

I just wanted to say that I say a TL like mine on the road today and it had clear side markers and it look amazing! As soon as a DIY gets up for this I am def doing this.

Of course, some wiring required, need to get connectors to plug in. Otherwise, I was thinking of soldering the wires directly into the connectors.

Tap 12V+ to the Signal 12V+ and tap Ground to the 12V+ of the part light! Done! Signal light will work as normal. But if your park lights are on, when you signal...your marker will light up opposite of the signal light!
Fish the wires, if possible rather than take out the fender liner (also need to take out the mud guard).
Except for the cutting of the hole, should be a breeze!
Hey anybody up to beat me to it..go right ahead. Just spend time to do a DIY and take lots of pics!

Even though they are smoked I think it will give dimension to the car. Do you know if it is a 194 because it looks like one. I can't wait to see how they look on your car.

Much nicer than I thought. Right size. Good thing I did not buy the flat one. This is just fine. Now, what location to install...I have to see TL's with markers...

I just took a peek, you can actually see through the fender from the door. It will be easy to fish the wires. I will simply tap the signals. I have an idea where to put the marker. I will take a pic and layout the marker.

We have a problem Hosuton....the passenger side is a breeze, but not quite the driver's side. The washer reservoir sits smack on the fender...there might not be space to mount our markers...
Here's the reservoir

On the driver's side, I will have to take down the fender liner....to see if there will be space for the marker. The marker I got is abput 3 inches deep
If there will be no space it will be a bummer!

ohh yea I just realized... sucks for you 97+ 3.2 people. your coolant reservoir is in the back of the fender. 96 3.2s have it in the front behind the bumper and under the battery area. Thats the reason why I was confused. 97+ have different ABS pumps too.

This is turning out to be cluster....sheet!
I will persevere and find a solution! I will break dow the fender liner! It could be that we will have 2 different locations for the markers....suits me fine. Nobody can tell anyway...you will always look at one side at a time!
