!!! IMPORTANT !!!

Please don't cut the cables of the new Side marker, the Electronic is inside !


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This are the US version of the sidemarkers. When I placed my order, the EU version was not yet available.
For that, I ordered the connectors separately.

Here are the connectors I ordered, everything is plug & play :






-----------------------------------------------------------------------

First of, you need to remove the ugly side marker you have on the car. With your hands alone it's difficult to remove them, you need a flat pliers to pinch the support so it goes out.




After that, you have to remove the matte and the plastic cover in the trunk to have access inside the trunk and to have access to the tail lights connector.

At this time, you can see the 2 Rubber joints at the bottom of the trunk, that's the way to put the cables out of the trunk.



At this time, pull the cables out of the trunk.




You can find them now under the car




Starting to connect the markers to the tail lights connector, For me I put one cable to the Black cable (ground) and the other to the Green w/ Brown line (+12v when parking lights are on)




After that, you have all the cables in the middle of the trunk, plug now (+) with (+) and ground with ground

I used a domino to wire everything together and then added electrical tape around every connector




That's how I putted the cables under the car, sorry for the crappy pics but it was really difficult to have good pics while lying under the car
Follow the white cable

When I lift the car up to change my wheels, I'll fix the cables better than now.




Then plug the connector to the side markers



Finally, you already know what it looks like :headbang:





Hope this will help.

Cheers :cheers:

I got mine on AliExpress.

I didn't go to so much trouble fitting. I didn't go through the trunk, I just ran the wires (wrapped and cable tied) down from the number plate light, around the bumper and to the side markers, before then snipping the side marker wires and connecting. I think it took about 5 mins max, and half of that was getting up and down off the floor!
