Car looks great! I've been thinking of doing the same. Where did you get the marker lights?

If you're replacing the headlights too, you can easily get to them from the vacated headlight hole above. If not, you can do it from under the car, but you probably want to get it a bit off the ground.

Here are the clears I installed on mine a couple years back. They have a yellow LED in them. Did them when I switched to HID headlights and LED halo tails. All of it,... worth every penny. Got my stuff from Radioflyer. He was very helpful in the whole process.

I am a big guy with big arms. It is tricky. As mentioned above, I found removing the headlight assemblies was the easiest way.

I appreciate the research assignment you have completed. Fortunately, I will be just fine...

That was meant as general information for all, not as a criticism to you, so relax and loosen up. I looked that up years ago when I was thinking of doing something similar. And those lights look pretty bright.

I am sure everyone appreciates your general information. And I am extremely relaxed, Captain Obvious. LOL 😃

Definitely the man to buy from. My taillight bulbs are the Cree LED bulbs from RadioFlyer. Super bright!

I snapped a quick pick last night just before dark to give everyone an idea of what the lenses look like. They are lightly smoked, so they look darker as the sun goes down. With LED bulbs, the lenses still allow a lot of light to shine through, and they are definitely brighter and more clear than the OEM setup, hands down.
