Really?...

Try not to search too much, don't want to hurt yourself...

there are tons of threads in here with pictures.

I would do it for you, but then I would be enabling you.
I will refrain from becoming political right now, but you really should put some effort into getting what you want rather than have it handed to you.

Thank you for not taking that too harsh, I can come off that way but it's not meant to be.

Thank you!

OH no I like to be challenged, but the problem is in todays schools they don't challenge me anymore. I stopped truly being taught to think after 4th grade. So now i'm a product of my generation someone who prefers others to do things for me. When in actuality I love to try and do things myself. I take more pride and joy in the achievement of accomplishing it. As opposed to paying someone and going to a car show and saying "yeah I bought those and had them installed."

Yeah It's sad, that's why we have so many people getting something for nothing in our country right now.

I love the rewards of hard work as well!
I had thought of making my own side markers, but I am working full time again and doing side work I hardly have time to do anything else right now.

That's why I just bought some.

Well i don't mind buying the lights or whatever, but if i'm able I like to install them myself, gives me a sense of accomplishment.

However, I know very little about cars and don't want to damage my baby so i'll play it by ear.

The installation is super easy, I did mine in 5 minutes. AAC's instructions were very clear and straight forward, couldn't have been easier.

Never hurts to run some Ext silicon around any weather exposed sockets in all new parts....just throwing that out there.

Showstoppers look good too...never seen them out this way in person however.

I bought mine around April last year, drivers side rear got condensation within 3 months and one led segment is dead. That one, and passenger front have broken retaining clips. They're being held in place with double-sided tape right now. Love the look, not thrilled with the durability. Thinking bout going the Showstopper route next.

I stayed with Showstoppers for my Sidemarkers (plug-n-play 5 min install) as I also got their LED Side Mirrors from them as well. No problems with anything I've got from Showstoppers. They also painted my brake calipers. Class all the way.

I recently got my front AAC sidemarkers back from warranty work. The sidemarkers had split apart (from where the adhesive material was placed to seal it), LEDs had gone out in the row, and there was condensation inside the housing. The rear sidemarkers held up fine. I will see how they fair this time around.

I'm fixing to order a set of the new SMD side markers from AAC, hopefully they are more dependable than the LED style.
