Those of you in the SoCal area .. where did you get your sidemarkers installed?
I do not want to attempt this job on my own, though i normally do my own work .. I just got the teg painted and dont want to ruin my fenders or crack the paint. Also what kind of wiring do i need to purchase .. it looks like a plug in the back of the sidmarker .. not so sure what i need to hook these up correctly .. i want them to stay on when i turn my lights on and blink with the blinker as well
Thanks and yes i searched

You should do it yourself. I did my own last week and it came out really good. I used regular speaker wire for the wiring and female plugs for the connectors.
i just did mine this weekend with my brother. the only items you need for the wiring is basic speaker/power wires (i used 18 guage), quick connect wire taps (4 of them), and female spade connectors (4 of them). they turned out looking ok, although the metal nibbler left the surface of the fender slightly 'warped' at the hole we cut so upon close inspection you can see the sidemarker doesnt sit completely flush with the surface (but damn close)

my exact thoughts
to finish my si-vtec "conversion", thats all I have left
just not confident in cutting holes in my fenders

I used this diagram:

Then I drew the shape of the cutout in AutoCAD using those dimensions, to make sure that it would print out the exact size. Then I located the placement where the hole needed to be on the BACKside of my fenders, taped the paper in place, and then scored lines in the metal using a small straightedge and an Xacto knife. Then I drilled a hole large enough for my metal nibbler, used tape on the outside of the fender, and cut out the hole. When using the metal nibbler, I had the handles on the painted outside of the fender (with the tape protecting that area) and the head of the nibbler stuck through to the backside of the fenders. That way I was able to precisely follow the scored lines I had made with the cutting head of the nibbler.
Oh yes and I did have the fenders off the car for this process.
