    I plan on putting some on my car. You need to drill a small hole on the side fender for the wire to go through. But they stick on with 3m tape so no water will get to the hole.

    Go for it

    My vote is yes...I'm looking forward to putting the markers on my rolla. Makes a nice look. Drilling a hole in the fender would make me nervous...any experienced tips would be great.

    yeah do it the way vamp do it. remember, the masking tape is the key cuz on glossy surfaces like paint, the dremel will slide like crazy. i dont know how well the ones that stinky mentioned will hold cuz they use 3m tape. i know im Michigan, cuz of the snow that is not an option (snow = salt = bad for glue) my suggestion is if you plan on going with black housing headlights like Art (zero), get some from a saab dealer or used saab ones cuz they have a grey tint to them. look tight on dark cars although i think yours is indigo ink or something right???

    if your gona get side markers, i think im too, i think the newest and coolest one's are the ones on the brand new BMW's those are sick cause they are slighty angled they look agressive, im gona get themin orange cause i think thats all they come in and black them out , lol i might just do it for looks, lol "i know im a loser!" but i have a car just like zeros and i think it would look cool,, what do u guys think?

    dude the bimmer ones are cool but the ones i like are the ones that come standard on the 7 series. they are thight but no one has after market and dealer price is 500 for 2, i checked. if you wanna paint your's black, just use dark tint and not black, cuz i might not be worth it. or just get the ones he posted up top, the angeled edges and then smoke them. they are easy to take apart.
