Those look good! I would put them on mine, but I think they would get ripped off my first time wheeling with them...

An observation and a question....
My question is this - I installed the lights, and they are holding, but I expected a "click" when they were flush with the body. But if I put too much force on the sheet metal, it (temporarily) dents inward. Is there a trick to keeping it in its present shape while pushing on the lenses? I can't reach the lens from inside the fender, so that's not an option.
I even tried keeping the tab bent inward (using a long screwdriver), but it didn't "click" and I don't think there's any real force on the rubber gasket.
I'm concerned that the fixtures are going to pop out under any kind of abuse.
This problem is going to be compounded if/when I eventually rhino-line the whole body.
Any thoughts?
Based on what MOT said I think the procedure to install the light would be reverse of how he gets them out: stick one side in and push in at an angle until the other side has enough space and pops in. Don't push the assembly straight in.
Hi Boyd!!
How are ya?

can you please make a template for the hole on each side and post in , I need to know how to cut it.After years of wanting to do this, and six months of having the markers on the shelf, I finally dove in and installed. These definitely remove the inherent blind spot for those around us when signalling.
Used the Safari snorkel template to double-check the location. Drilled, step-drilled, then cut with a Dremel.

Filed to fit, then primed and painted.

Does the side marker light need to be changed to a dual filament plug? Or does the extra voltage provided by the blinker cause the dual filament bulb to illuminate when the blinker voltage spikes?The wiring is easy enough to run through the fender. If you reach inside there are access holes that help to feed the wiring through. The last pic is where I tied all the wiring together. Two leads from the new side markers and a jumper from the front turn to the side turns. I will probably swap out the dual filament plug with an OE brake/running light plug later. These were from a GM and they fit but not great. All the signals flash and the running lights work on the side turn signals.
