Ok, so i bought a set of these things thinking "Hey, this must be simple, just copy the template onto the quarter panel, drill a hole, screw it down, and wallah"
So then i pop my hood. I forgot about that peice of sheet metal called an ENGINE BAY, that my quarter panel connects to. So now here i sit, bewildered.
Do i get like a foot long drill bit and just drill through both? Do i REMOVE my quarter panel first? I didnt think it would be this confusing.
I know a few of you installed them yourself, so what did you guys do? Thanks for anyone that helps me out in advance.

take off your wheel and remove the fenderwell trim. then you can drill the hole and install them.

u dont even have to remove the wheel if u dont want to..u can jus jack it up..remove the fenderwell trim like shadow said.. and then drill the hole..run the wire to the blinkers and ure set

 

[JeRsEyLoOn]

ahhh, never thought of taking that route....damn good ideas.

 

[scoupe91]

sorry but what is the fender well trim and how do i remove it?

 

[OCBcards]

I believe the fender trim is the black plastic-like material that lines the wheel well. It often gets covered with dirt and road grime, and it sometimes protected by splash guards. If I remember correctly, there are 4 or 5 bolts that hold it in place. I did this once ago, and it should take only a minute or two to remove. I hope this helps, scoupe91

Well, i finally installed the side marker lights, thanks for everyones help. the INSTALL went absolutely perfect, however the company APC should be shut down. has ANYBODY EVERRRRR got ANYTHING from APC, that actually works correctly? the tail lights leak, thier intakes slip off, and so on.
These lights are the first APC product i ever bought, even though everyone says the brand sucks..i was like "ahh, i'll give em a shot, only 14.99"

Well well well...low and behold, they BLOW! the bottom half goes in perfect, sealed and all...but the lens cap wont click in, and it keeps falling off. this sucks so bad, i cant take em out now due to the 3/4" hole in my quarter panel, so i guess its time for good old super glue....this is so gay. christ i hate this company!

 

[94IntegLS]

NOOOOO!!!!! Don't use super glue on that plastic lense. The chemicals in the glue will make the platic all foggy, and you won't be able to get it off. I bought APC sidemarkers and when i was installing them the lense clip broke off and i glued it back with "SUPER GLUE" and it came out all crappy. So i took em out and bought some JDM style markers off ebay.

Plus you won't be able to change the lights anymore.....if the lights went out.

I have the apc sidemarkers as well. When putting on the lense, a handy lil flat head screw driver really helps. You need to kinda pry the seal a little so the lense will fit on tightly. I have no problems what so ever...it fits perfectly.

 

[JeRsEyLoOn]

Hmm....well lucky for me, i didnt have any glue around me..so i went back to pep boys, and inspected the side marker kinds they had there. all the protruding oval types that i looked at had the same problem..the tops wont stay on. However i found FLUSH ovals, witch i like better but werent there the other day...and there's 4 clips instead of 2 on each light..and it CLICKS in, tight as hell!...only downfall is that i have to find a way to turn this circle i cut into my fender....into a square...any idea of what will cut thru sheetmetal smoothly?

a dremel. those things work wonders. comes in handy a lot.

 

[Jacksont001]

second on the dremel, wear glasses tho!

 

[B18c1-2NR]

APC is wack and rice..i will never put their product on my car including the wack apc sticker..they suck big time

 

[Phillblkack]

There's nothin better when u see a 1984 ford escort with chorme hub caps, blue lights on the hood(aka blue light special), and a huge ass apc sticker on the window.lol. I guess its a Philly thing.

 

[Tweakmeister]

hehe...

funny about the installation aspect. half the people who rave about something don't install it themself....

when I first started tuning I bought a header for an "easy" install that should take "about 30mins"....4 hours later I ended up bolting the stock header on hehe....
