You have to install the side marker first, and then screw in the bulb socket from your OEM ambers, otherwise the socket hits the metal

this! install clear side marker. swap out sockets (use US OEM socket). swap out bulbs (use orange bulb). then reach inside from the back to insert socket into new maker and turn 90 degrees. Hint: practice turning the connector into the marker light before you install the marker light... remember how you are turning it to connect properly - turn from 9 to 12, for example.

Yesss, exactly what I had to do. Install marker in fender w/ socket installed then plug the connector in from inside the fender. They fit!

even better idea! i connected the socket / bulb into the marker from inside the fender, and twisted 90 degrees. your way makes more sense. duh, and damn!

Really appreciate the insights on this thread! Was on the verge of returning the side markers I bought but installing them first and then connecting the harness later did the trick.

Amber delete done. :cool:
