yeah, its not all that hard bro. cut just inside the template so that you dont take off too much metal at first. I used a dremel.matt96ex said:
just measure out the side marker's base and make your own. i wouldnt use somone elses tempelate not unless they are the exact same sidemarkers. i bought the Depo ones and they have a different base setup. but all in all i didnt use any exact placement measurements from factory civics. i picked a spot a couple inchs above the molding and i just measured each side so they were even and drew the tempelate and cut. its not hard. and i used a dremel it works 10x better and is precise. just get the right cutting wheel. and dont rush.
i never used and template or anything on my old EJ, i just lighned them up so they were even and stuff on both sides and started cutting i really didnt care because they were dented up anyway. i think for my EM1 im going to buy the password jdm ones and have'm painted.
i put them in last weekend. they came out pretty good. picky people will probably b***h cause their a bit too high, but i could really care less. i used this write up, but they did put them on a 99-00 fender so thats probably why mine are a bit higher.

It's right on the first page... except the link is kinda wrong.
It was -- http://"http//www.goosse.streetracing.org/photo4.html

I just recently did this DIY also... whenever I tried to print off the template it was smaller than it actually was supposed to be so I had to look at the measurements and draw the actual size.

Just use these crimp on terminals to splice into your factory wiring:
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
But I could just buy a set of these:

and then I'm doing city lights too so I'd just use the wiring harness I got with the sidemarkers for the city lights and splice into the other harness, therefore not having to touch the factory harness at all. I don't know if it's worth the money though.

I wanna do this but I have to say after watching someone screw up on my bumper I'm afraid to mess up the fender as well lol.
