So i got bored and wanted a small project for the car... turns out that it is not a small project and a major pain in the ass. I do not recommend this if you have good paint, a custom paint color, or care about your paint at all. Mine turned out "so-so", but if i would of redone it with more body filler it would of turned out perfect. (every pic i take, my rims look like they are orange, idk why!!)
Step 1= Take out side markers.

Step 2= Smash the lens off the side markers so that you still have the base.

Step 3= Screw the side marker base back in.
