Default Help with side markers...please!!

Okay, so here is my little story:
I have a set of JDM side markers which I waited forever to recieve. Now I can not find a bodyshop in my area (lancaster PA) to install them on my 5th gen. because there is to fine of a line for error cutting the hole in my fender. I am not skilled with that type of work at all, so doing it myself is out of the question. I am looking to see if anyone here who DIY their Accord markers still has a templet that I could get a copy of. Thanks

I don't know if you already installed your side markers, but what I did was get some cardboard and make a template out of that. I cut a hole that fit the side marker perfect then measured on the fender where I wanted it and marked it out. Then I used a dremel to cut the holes, which ended up being a little to small, so I just used a file and got the hole to the perfect sized and the side markers fit like a glove.

ah i see, i was wondering about the location spec, not the size. But that was a good idea too. Is it the same location for 5th gen accords as it is for the EKs?
