clear side markers

i was looking at the fender of my GTA wondering how i was going to put in clear side markers without ripping up the casing that covers the lip of the amber markers that came stock. i crawled under the car and looked at the inside of the fender and it almost seems doable from the inside but could anyone tell me how they installed theirs ?

On my camaro you just take out the whole unit and put the new one in, Got mine from ebay for $30. You can see the orange bulb in the pic. I got a set of LED amber lights from the APC ***** section at pep poys, But the look red and were not brigter than reg lights so I returned them.

Got mine from procarparts too, just put them in yesterday. Took all of 5 minutes, and they look so much better, especially with my car being teal.
I bought mine off their website before I realised they also sell them on eBay and they usually go for $10-$15 less.

Ok, so how do i find them at procarparts.com????? I was there and i can't find anything on them! Can someone link me right to that page where they are? The one's you got off e-bay good? I don't like the idea of setting up a account just for this! I can never find anything on there for 82-92 Camaro's!!? So, please someone link me to the procarparts.com site. How much are they there? How long do they take to get? I hate to get them off procarparts.com since i mailed them like 5 months ago and never heard anything back about them! Everyones car's are looking good!!

I would rather have the tinted grey side markers. Cause on the clear ones you still see that little orange bulb.
