As some of you know, this has been a long time in the making. It took a while to find the perfect lens. It then took a while to design the right bezel to show off the lens, and make it work with the NA & NB chassis. But here it is at last, the second edition of the RM side markers. The side markers are designed to be an alternative to the standard OEM side markers (kind of big, and plastic, imo), and compliment your retro build. The over-all dimension of the markers are: 38mm wide, 13mm tall (from the fender), and mounts through a 1" opening. It was designed this way to make installation as simple as possible. The side markers are held in place by both a piece of double stick tape, and a locking collar on the back for added security. The bulb holder can take both a normal incandescent T10/194 bulb (for period correctness), or LED equivalent. As with most RM products, there are limited numbers to be had. I was only able to secure 20 sets of lenses, thus only 20 sets will be made. 5 sets are already spoken for via pre-order so only 15 are available. Since these are made by hand, allow 2 weeks from the date of purchase for build & ship time.
Price: $169.00 + shipping

Yes! Or can someone get dimensions of the oem marker? I'm trying to imagine their size and proportions when installed. Looks like you could just punch the fender with a hole saw for installation? Very simple.

unfortunately i don't have any OEM ones to compare with anymore, but how about a quarter instead? yes, the idea is that you can mark out the location on the fender and then hit it with a hole saw. i hated how complicated the oem ones were to install with their odd shape.

Jimmy brings up a good point. I'll see if i can make something that will allow people with the existing OEM side markers to be able to use these.
