yes. The side markers are accesible from under the car. they are held in place with two 'flip' locks if you will. just flip them and the light comes out.

personally for me i could reach them better from the top of the engine bay, also you forgot to mention that you have to pinch the hooks together in order for them to come out

passenger side is easy....just go in through the top of the fender right behind the battery.

driverside you need to get down on the ground in most cases and reach up under the fender.

5 min tops 10 if you have no idea what your doing........

here's a pic of mine! i'd highly recommend it.

here's an older profile...........the flash greatly distorts the clear though where as the amber is accented.

save your money and pay the 30 for the real ones....



you could make them if you want i suppose but it would be rather silly since these are made very well.

Here's mine, got them off ebay for $20, from procarparts.com.
The are a great product, and made jsu for our cars.
I bougth some amber led lights from pep boys, but when I turned on the lights they looked red, not amber, so I brought them back.
I just have the reg amber bulb in there now, (you can see it in the pic)
