I finally got around to installing the white side marker lights yesterday. I really like the look - I think it looks much cleaner than the orange lights.

It does make it look alot more upscale.

Very nice looking. How difficult was it for you to remove your original side marker? The manual says to push the sidemarker foward (towards the front bumper) then pull the back end out first. I have tried that many times, but no luck, anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

Once you get the belly plate out of the way, you squeeze the clips. Pliers can do it well.

Looking good.

That was one of my first mods.

awesome, where did you get the white marker lights?

desert-boater

Yeah... I haven't been able to do it that way either... you really need to remove that "belly plate" (didn't know it's called that ;-) and get at it that way with pliers.

I found the lights on ebay.

Just did mine last week too... The trick to removing the stock lenses is to work a very thin flat bladed screwdriver under the top rear of the lense and the get a finger under the exposed edge. Apply a little pressure and it seems to pop the lense free... The trailing edge of the lense is where the clip is located but getting to it from the outside is near impossible.... You just have to be real careful that when you lift the lense with the flatbladed screwdriver, you don't scratch the paint... I'm talking real thin small bladed screwdriver here... I've had mine off and on several times to change bulbs and no problems whatsoever and didn't need to remove the belly pan...

Sounds easy when you describe it like THAT

looks much better than the OEM orange markers. I changed mine out shortly after taking delivery of my E.

I've seen many posts where people state that these clear markers look best on light color cars. However, I think yours look terrific ! I'm definitely getting them for my Tectite gray car.

Mackhack

Ah,... ignore those negativity eaten people... I love them on all of our beloved cars!!!

A couple of years ago I remember posts by memebers saying that after a couple of weeks a certain brand of lenses would leak after a heavy rain.
Anyone experience that lately ?

Here's that thread

Not yet - we don't get that much rain here in Charlotte ;-)
