Default Where to buy replication sidemarkers?

I know APC replicates the EP sidemarkers and they're very easy to install, drill a hole for the wires and just screw the into the fender rather than cutting out a shape the size of the inside edge of the marker. We did this on a friends car and it took us quite a few hours and the results weren't so good. Anyway, i've looked around eBay and didn't find anything like what i want, is there such thing?

just get OEM/JDM side markers, those APC or other sidemarkers that you have to screw in have a bad tendancy to break or have the lense fall off etc. as you need to pop the actual lense off to change the bulb, instead of just popping out the whole unit.

Did you not read the reason i want replication? I don't care if they were $40 as well, i don't want to have to precision cut my fenders to fit them, i just want them screwed in from the back and have a hole in the center for wires.

Anyway, i'm looking at these.



Not too bad, screw in from the front, i'll paint the screws orange. I like the CRX style ones that APC has, too bad they're all clear.

Anyway, they're the most decent looking ones i can find, and they're cheap, got a problem with it?

I say get some used stanley oem's sidemakers on ebay. I saw a write up on here somewhere and all they did was drill a starting hole and used some type of cutter and it came out clean.

I know what's involved, i fucked up a friend's car putting them on, i don't want to expletive up mine. I slipped with the cutter and ground off his paint, then cut part of it a little too much and could see the hole in his fender with the marker installed. I don't mind shelling out the money for the real deal on eBay, they're under $20 shipped, it's just that they're a bitch to install and easy to screw up.
