Type: APC
Difficulty: If you can't do it, get your pet gerbil or the neighbourhood racoon to.

There are 2 3/8's nuts holding the stock markers on. If you crawl under the car you can see them easilly. I have the APC clear ones which I was planning on installing until I ran into a dilemma. Stupid nuts are rusted to crap and won't let go. Soaked them in WD40 (it was all I have) to see if that will loosen them up any.

ER...oh....i'm a dum ass...but i was kinda talking the Euro style lights that sit on the sides of your quarter panels...

They are called side repeaters. That is tough. Never mind thinking about it and move on.

You can cut holes in your fenders to install them, but it wont look the same as stock euro. The european fenders have a recessed indent for the side repeaters so they fit closer to flush with the body.
Also, the washer fluid tank is in the driver side fender, and needs to be modified to allow for the depth of the lense/bulb/socket/wiring.

but if these guys haven't gotten your hopes up, your best bet about this would be to talk to jaspher, he just got his done not too long ago, and can steer you into this, our out of it.

theyre also commonly called Euro Blinkers. The difference between a marker light and a blinker light, is the blinker generally blinks when your signaling, the marker usually turns on with your park lights and often contains a DOT approved reflective surface built-in to comply with reflector regulations needed on the front side of the car forward of the driving wheels.
