Not sure how you did it but on my dc5 I used a dremel with a cutting wheel

 

i used the same tools...

 

Good Stuff I will have to get up the nerv to cut into the gd3 .. the dc5 scared the hell out of me

Great Job!!!!!!

 

I can't even imagine doing it to mine...

oh wait, there goes my creative mind....

OH GOD>>!!! NOOOO!!!! MY BABY!!!! @_@ my newborn will be so jealous and neglected... until he gets in the car of course... =_=


EDIT: SO RANDOM!!!

 

^^ edit:so crazy

 

yes i did it also to My dc5....

 

those pics ever get posted of the ausdm fit?

 

nope no one has posted a template....still the 1st usdm fit with sidemarkers and jdm ion fogs FTW

 

JDM ION Fog Lights? I would imagine from the EP3 or DC5?

Has no one found out the correct dimensions or a proper template yet? I'm actually quite anal when it comes to the specifics and would love to finally have some sidemarkers installed on an otherwise naked fender.

 

agreed. I think I'm going to use the DC5 template, but move it down from the accent line a little bit.

 

Considering I've either shaved or changed the sidemarkers to make them less obvious in my last three cars, I can't imagine wanting to ADD one to a car that didn't have it. You did a good job, but I can't understand why you'd want to in the first place.

 

Everyone does things differently, I've added sidemarkers to my previous car after a JDM front end conversion and it's those little things that set you off. Maybe b/c all cars you owned came stock w/ sidemarkers so it was the "cool" thing to shave them, and here, it's vice versa.

 

This is how Honda determines the location of sidemarkers:

 

wow that pic just above is very interesting. YOu know I thought it seemed to go along the lines of the fender.. that's why I wanted the side marker to sit lower from the accent line. Thanks!

 

I didn't shave them or change them to be "cool". I did it because they were ugly, but to each his/her own.

 

exactly

 

yup off of a dc5.... about the sidemarkers no one over seas really has posted up a template of any sort so i used the dc5 template off my dc5... you could use the dc5 template but move it which ever way you feel is the right location...to me as the first looks fine....

good luck guys....

 

i really like sidemarkers not only for its looks.. but SAFETY! Especially if you can get them to turn on with parking lights AND signal lights. During the night many people will just switch lanes and not really look... this is dangerous! Having sidemarkers let people know you're next to them AND lets them know if you're going to change lanes way more clearly. SIDEMARKERS FTW!

Ps, Installed LED bulbs into my mom's stock sidemarkers on her BMW, i think this is GREAT because it's probably brighter and the response time is faster too

in on pics & measurements / template

 

Its not hard. I did the same thing to my 94 GSR. You drill one hole and use a nibbler. its like 15 bucks at most at radio shack. it is a cool device that nibbles out a square centimeter piece of metal. so you can nibble out the hole however big you want it.
