STEPS
1. Print out templates or create a template with the measurements I provided and cut the hole out with the scissors
2. Use the measurements I provided to get location of where the hole will go and mark it with a pencil, dry erase marker or chalk.
3. Lay the template over the fender and tape it down and make sure it is secure use the dry erase marker or chalk to fill in the paper hole or edges of the hole.
4. Use masking tape to mask off the surrounding area... basically, cover any spots around the hole that are not colored in.
5. Now comes the moment of truth, the dremel.
Note I really do recomend practicing on scap metal first just so you already have a little experience with doin this before you cut your car.
End Note For this part I used a cutting disk. This is the part you must be very careful with. Do Not!! use the disk to cut into the fender and then draw a strait line it is way to easy to snag a piece of metal and the dremel get out of your hand and fly up the fender and leave a nasty scratch. How I did this was I cut a slit buy pushing the disk in and pulling it out, moving down a little and repeating. Almost like making very wide doted lines.
6. Test fit the marker and use a grinding wheel to finish off any ruff areas. Then sand down the edges a bit.
7. After cutting the hole and wiping of the sweat from being so nervous. Mask off the Rest of the hole with a newspaper or what ever and Prime the edges

8. Remove news paper and use a cleaner such as "goo off"to remove any glue from the tape or over spray, this did not affect my stock paint.
9. Wire up your Side markers to your front side blinkers. Black goes to ground and the other Colored wire to the lead wire on the turn signals.
10. Clean up and Walla you’re done. Go to the other side and repeat
