custom side markers!
Hey guys, thought i'd show some of the recent work me and my buddy david (DVG) did on my car.
We bought led strips (mine 6k) and an amber strip as well. The led strip lights up normall as the sidemarkers do and the amber strip only flashes when you put the turn signal on. It doesn't alternate like i've seen in other videos, the turn signal and the amber strip in the side marker go at the same time. Some pics and i will upload a video shortly!
Shout out to DVG, took his time to make the side markers, awesome work.

That sucks man,
Im trying to figure out a way to secure them to the bumper, I saw one thread that suggested putting a nail through it, but there isnt much material on the sedan sidemarkers, so it is harder to do that.

2. You need to buy connectors, wire, soldering equipment, a fume extractor(safety first), and other things to be able to do this.
The things that you need to buy specifically for this project are just the LED strips.
So, the cost depends on what you already have. I didnt have any of this stuff so it was pricey for me.
3. Thats exactly what you do, to get the signal you need to take the bumper and headlight off and splice into the turn signal hot wire. The white lights and ground are connected where the sidemarker was.

zip tie will help some... what sucks is that they stole the whole socket and everything. all they left hanging was the wires

You cant even really tell that they're LED sidemarkers until you turn them on, so it sounds like you were targeted.
