yeah, i have a set on. (check sig for pics)

i ordered mine through my local parts store Pepboys. they are made by GTS.

**i bought them along with the rear blackouts**

TIP: you may want to also buy some heavy duty double sided tape. the mounting brackets it comes with have low strenght tape, and fell off of my first set. yeah, i had to order a second BUT they look great!!

the turn signals actually alternate between the front and side markers when you switch 'em on, so it shouldnt be a problem.

oh, and it costed around $45 over here...

I think I heard that they're discontinued but I may be wrong. Why not just make your own it would be alot cheaper. Just take a piece of cardboard and cut it till it fits the opening the way you want it. Then use the cardboard as a template by laying it on a piece of plexi/lexan trace it then cut it. Make you a couple little "L" brackets to mount it to.

Well, about 2 month ago I called a sales rep, and he told me that they were discontinued, but they may bring them back. Someone call up GTS and find out whats the story, I already did once and will be busy this week. Post there reply if you can. Thanks Guys
