I recently purchased a pair of LED side markers. Any one know of a DIY for this?

Thanks, danny

What do you need help on? Taking out the sidemarker housing or making the connection?

if you mean the side marker on fender, then it is easy
push the side marker backward, toward the rear of the car, then pull out
turn the socket, then you will see the bulbs, replace it with your led, done
30 seconds

Sounds like he got a whole new LED housing...the install is pretty simple, just match up the wires and use the wire splices to connect. Not much you can screw up on...I recommend wrapping some electrical tape around the wire splices.
