they are quite easy to install...

i recommend using a credit card/drivers license to keep from marring the paint surface.

insert card & push forward to release holding clip. then pull outward to remove.

twist bulb socket to remove wiring. i have added ctd-germany side markers for a cleaner look... i really like them.

see pics for assistance:

Looks easy, I might just pop out my side markers and just have them painted to match the car.

Does anyone have a pair of original side markers that they'd like to get rid of cheap?

all right. thanks. $120 is a lot though. i remember when i installed clear lights on a honda accord. that only cost about $10. i guess that's what happens when you go from crap to class.

Don't CTD Germany only sell the original european side-lights ?
My Crossfire had clear side lights stock.
Do you want me to ask my dealer how much both side lights would cost ?

We have been trying to get someone over there to do just that from the beginning...but so far, no one has stepped up. Please let us know what you find out. Maybe the competition would reduce the CTD price for us here in the States. I have already purchased mine which came from CTD but others would benefit greatly. Thank you for your offer.

I think I posted something on this a while back when I enquired about the rear spoiler for MAYAMAN. From memory they were about 50GBP + VAT each.

Thanks Simon, I must have missed it. So that ends up being about the same, either way. Guess you have to pay up if you want them.

No problem, I think it was probably buried inside a post regarding wings or spoilers or something. As you are probably aware we seem to get hit pretty hard price wise in the UK, so I think you can maybe get a better deal from mainland Europe. I have been trying to get some Euro spec LHD lamps for the PT Cruiser guys in the US and have been quoted 188+17.5% vat GBP each! So I have had to pass it on to Tino at CTD as I am sure he can get a better price in Germany. This forum can make pretty depressing reading when I see what you guys are paying for stuff, including the Xfire itself, basically everything looks half price. Oh well, no point worrying, it can work both ways, I got all my ECU stuff from the US cheaper than here.
