Default Custom front marker lights

Hi guys, I want to change up my front marker lights in some way...

Thinking of sticking white and amber LEDs inside the DRL section. Can the marker lights be pulled apart (lense come apart from the housing)?

Post up pictures of your own custom marker lights if you'd like.

These are what I used to have on my car. I inserted a switchback led strip into a clear/black housing and replaced the drl bulb and parking light bulb with white leds. I rewired it all so the original drl only came on with the headlights or parking lights and the led strip was my drl/turn signal.

I dabbled with the same concept but I bought the strip and attached it to my tinted lense cover in case I didn't like the result.

Before


After




I know some may think it's a "rice" mod but I've gotten nothing but good comments on them.

Here are mine...if I can offer any advice is that your better of to cut along the seam of the lights where the lens meets the backing and then epoxy, or use silicone to put back together.
