    u have to cut it out and then glue in a peace of lexen or plexi
    it only works on the 88-89 corner lights tho

    thats exactly the ones i want haha.. but i read somewhere that you can open up the casing and remove the orange.. i dont know if thats quite true because i looked at mine and i dont see how the orange part comes out.. but its good to know that aftermarket side markers are still made

    i can make it go down from the master control but also it wont go up from the master control.. so im thinking mastersontrol?

    hmm.. i guess my option is to save money or just stick with the oldschool corners and bumper lenses... on my corners i just took out the signal bulb and replaced the front white one with a blue bulb.. looks pretty good at night

    ps ignore the right side of the pic... i know the lights dim.. its got a ground problem somewhere.. i gotta find it... AND the blue coming from inside the car.. i had to use a replacement bulb til i got the original dome light (hard to find)
