I can't stand either on of them. I understand the safety aspect, but they ruin the lines of one cool looking car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) also. I was just looking on ebay and
there is some offering the side marker lense. It
stated that they are the same for both sides but
in the pic I could see the letter L (driver side).
I don't have my car here to look at it but I didn't
think they were the same for both sides.

They are NOT the same.

If someone has advertised them as such, they are wrong. (And I would think about that if I were to bid on them.)

Those mopar lights look good, but how did you fill the mounting holes for the orig lights? Did you have the whole fender repainted and filled? Thanks, if there is a quick/easy way to do what you did w/o having to repaint etc, that'd be great!

I have a set of those Mopar lights that I'm going to install as soon as is warms up some here. They fill in the large hole from the existing light perfect, the only holes that have to be filled are the screw holes from the orginal light.

IMHO the side markers lights that are on the car now look like lights that should be on a boat trailer or a semi.... ugly as can be. They will be gone soon.

These are the lights I'm going with without the blues lens, going to put the orginal amber lens back in there. Just have to decide if I want to leave them black or paint the housing the same color as the car.

BTW: I have four of these lights only going to use two,,, anyone interested in the other set give me a shout. Comes with the amber lens as well as the blue......
