Picture Request: Flush mounted LED side markers

[Brandon1605]

Has anyone seen or does anyone have this? I would love to flush mount the side marker lights all around, but I dont even know if they make the parts to do it.

Most likely you would have to fabricate some LED markers and a housing that can bolt to the rear side of the fender to make it sit flush. So to answer your question. No, unless you get some of those flat LED strips and just slap them on the side of your car, lol! Might look ghetto though.

Im definitely not looking for ghetto fab stuff. I want to have them mounted like the custom lights on a hotrodded truck. Something like that long LED brake light they use. Anyone know where I can get something made if I have dimensions for the parts?

Try searching for chopper lights

Brilliant idea, I may do some of these, Ill make a write-up if I do.

I like the idea. I'd love to see a mock up of what you're aiming for.

I just measured the holes for the lights. The holes in the fenders are 1in tall and about 3 1/2in wide. The actual lights are 1 7/8 tall and about 4 3/4 wide if I recall correctly. Now, I found a site that sells lenses you can sand down to make flush and the kits to install them, but they are for hotrods and none of the sizes are right. How difficult would trimming the actual lens be? Ive not done it before, so I really dont know. If they can be trimmed, you could buy something oversized and trim it to fit. The only other issue I see is actually mounting them. As you know, the stock lights have studs with a nut that tightens down a bracket on the inside of the fender. With the flush mounts, this would not work. So, I plan to do some thinking on how to mount them. Ideas are welcome as always.

Trimming the lens seems doable. It'll take a while if you want a perfect fit, but it wouldn't be too difficult. As for mounting them, since there's not going to be anything to bolt to so I'd say fiberglass, epoxy, or some sort of hard drying sealant (something like RTV I guess?). Idk what all would adhere to metal though, might have to do some reading.
