Default Hyper flash relay

So I put a set of halo led taillights in my car and had the hyper flash happening. I went on ebay and found a guy with a new radioflyer hyper flash relay and a set of led marker lights for $50. Bought the parts, they showed up yesterday and I installed the relay last night.
First thing I did was watch the relay install thread on here, made things fairly quick and straight forward. The "pain in the ***" part was getting the kick plate to line up on the ignition side. There's a little nipple on the back of the ignition moulding that fits into a moulded pocket on the kick plate. You really need to be careful getting these to fit back together.
Sorry but I didn't take any pics.
My next little project is to install the marker lights. I pulled the trim from the trunk and there's a vent looking thing behind it and I guess the light is accessible thru it?

To do the side marker lights, just remove both out side taillights and you have access to the side marker lights. It is tight access in there, but they can be removed with a wrench.

Thanks Jack. I would not have thought to do that.

You will have to move the power antenna too to get to the passenger side marker light.
Not hard to do, a couple of nuts to remove and then you pull down on the antenna to get it out of the way. That is what I did as I could not get to the side maker light any other way.
