Clear Side Markers would look wicked

[Dprotech]

Hey Guys ..I've been looking over a year now for side markers for the 99 G20t. I know what the 2001 models have them. I've been told by the dealership that because its a new feature in the 2001 model ..it'll be a few months till we can order them. I measured them and the 2001 sidemarkers will fit the 99 model.

let me know if anyone can source it out sooner

Thanks

You should be able to get them now. the cars have been out for half a year (maybe longer). Since i've dedicated my car to be a show car, i've built a good relationship with my dealer. He gave me the side markers free off of one of their cars in the lot and I guess they just worried about it from there. I certainly didnt.. lol

I would definately expect them to be able to order them by now...

So can you confirm that they actually do fit on the 99 model ...sweet if it does ..those bastards kept telling me that they would not fit ...i'm gonna kick my rep

they fit like factory... cause they are. i have a '00, but the fenders are the same... the side markers are the same except they are low profile now, and of course clear!!

I have a '99 G20 and I bought the clear side markers to the '00 G20 in October of last year. I tried to buy it early september but they said id have to wait because they had to order them, but i got them eventually. They do fit, but you have to do some readjustment. On the side marker itself is a small key which fits into the groove of the side marker housing in the fender. The '00 has a different pattern than the '99 so i used a saudering iron to take off two of three keys so that itll fit in the groove. I smoothed it out and it fits in perfectly and doesnt move one bit. Very easy to do, only took me like 10-15 minutes because I wanted to make sure I wouldnt mess up. I think each side marker was $25.

r u talkin about the ones next to the headlights b/c they r already clear.

[b-b00gie]

the side markers are the ones on your fender (between the wheel and your mirror)

the ones you're thinking of are the "corners".

gotcha

Alright ..I just picked up the clear side markers for the 2001 model and trying to replace those on my G20T 99 model.

I've run into a snag! Two options cut out grooves for the bulb housing twist lock or ..get the wiring harness boot for the 2001 model.

Please advise ..posting pictures now for your perusal

Another view

here is the view of the bulb housing .notice the twist lock hole patterns

Here are the connector views- its either mashing up the twistlock pattern or coughing up more dough to buy the 2001 connectors

Just to show you what your car will look like with em

Well here is the result. I phoned the dealership and they said they couldn't provide me with the female connectors for the new lights. So I decided to get my dremel tool out and routed out the new housing to fit the old bulb plug. Worked like a charm, and stays tight. I swapped the rubber seal since it made it fit better and seemed more air tight.
Here are pictures of it installed on the car ..which is a simple snap in.
