Actually the rear tail lights wrap around enough that the rear side marker lights are probably not needed to pass the Fed. Regs.
Since side marker lights have been around since 1968, (on American cars) I guess I've grown so used to them that they really don't bother me that much on the Crossfire.
Now if Chrysler had placed them on the fender between the wheel well and the door (like BMW does) that would really cheese me off.
To bad Chrysler couldn't have gone "retro" and reproduced the little round marker lights like they used on the '68 Dodge and Plymouths. (Those were the best ones ever IMO) But the Feds would have probably said no way.
