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.

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.

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.
