Ok guys just got my marquez side marker light lens and was wondering how everybody mounted the light that go behind them or did you just take the bulb out and tie up the harness, since the lens have all reflective lens in it this might not be a big deal. but i would like to mount the lights.any help or pics appreciated.

i was thinking about that, but i wanted the new lens to sit flush and not stick out like the factory ones

As nice as they are and as expensive as they are they should come with lights! Just sayin.....

That's what i thought, but could you imagine how much they would be.there taillights with leds in them are $829 Crazy. i just got tired of having to glue my trim back on those repop marker lights and nos markers are just as expensive so why not go with the billet ones

Heres mine.....separated the bulb holder from the reflective lense, and used a router table to remove the unwanted plastic

I have the same Marquez lights, but I've been looking for a way to mount an LED light board behind them.
