Got my @Diode Dynamics clear side markers installed today - literally took me 15mins to do. I watched a few videos where guys were taking out the entire fender liner to do it or taking a bunch of bolts and fasteners out - do not do that.

You literally need to take out the first two plastic pin fasteners/buttons towards the front of the liner and the 10mm bolt down and to the left a bit. Unscrew the lone bolt holding the corner marker in and disconnect the cable (pro tip: use a pick or something to wedge underneath the clip on the wire connector and it slides right out). All in all love the new look and basic removal of the amber marker while still retaining the amber lighting =)

Outback trailgater. Very easy mod and love it.

Easy install? The Goose Gear tailgate table was on my Short List, but they're too wedded to external branding for my taste. The table on your Jeep has the clean design that I'd prefer.

Jim, does my $100 buy me anything other than just a change in reflector color?

I installed the same on my Rubi, 2 years ago. They have worked flawlessly...

Yup, you have to be careful in regard to YouTube videos and install advice given in same. Probably 3/4 of the time the info spewed is incorrect...

As you said, a couple of push pins out, peel back the liner a tad and do the install.. best to keep your tool on the securing bolt on the side marker so the bolt does not fall out/and you end up having to hunt it down.

Enjoy your side markers..... YUP, they look good on your ride. The Diode Dynamics offering is a better looking offering then Oracle's offering.

Looks awesome. Can you send me or post the link for the Diod Dynamics clear makers?

Haha nope just change in reflector color =) I am starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel in stuff to spend money on without going totally bananas here so this was something small I decided to give it a shot. I actually got them on sale at @Northridge4x4 for $69 so it wasn't quite $100 =)

Thanks.

I'm slowly shifting my JLU's lighting from incandescent to LED, and I like the aesthetic of clear lenses. The pricing for the DDs, though ($80+$17 ground shipping; I rounded up to a C-note) means they're still on my To Buy list. I'll watch for sales as the preceding posts link to.

Maybe we'll see each other on the road. :like:

Perfect video! Wasn't sure if removing that 10mm bolt helped at all just seemed to give me a bit more room to see what was going on in there =) It is interesting to see how the fenders can be just slightly different year to year and I am sure Rubicon vs. Sahara fenders are slightly different but fundamentally the same.
