I've searched on google for a write up or mod regarding the side markers and a low cost fix, and could not find anything. maybe i missed it, but here's my version if anyone wants the info. the new sealed units are $60 and up from what i'm seeing on the fourms.

i started by opening the side marker using a hacksaw, a dremel would work too im sure but mine is not working.





Next i de-soldered the led bulb, it has 4 contacts on it, so you have to get all the old solder off really good and work the bulb off.






then solder on the new bulbs





i also had a diode out on my circuit board, i just resoldered on a new one.

Part numbers from radio shack

Red LED bulb $2.99 eachModel: 276-020

Diode i used $1.99 pack Zener Diode

 

for some reason i cant find an edit button on the post,


to seal the side marker back up i used Clear Silicone Adhesive Sealant from a caulk tube.

 

Good job, nice write up. Definitely cheaper than buying a new one.

 

Great job

 

Thanks for this report. Good pictures too.

 

use can use fishing line rather then the hacksaw as well

 

Nice. I have mine simply tinted. That's about the only mod to my side markers.

 

Awesome, thats my next project thanks alot for posting info like that, it saves people alot of money.

 

Nice write-up with great pics

 

Did you tape the wires from the side marker back? I need a new driver side marker, mine is flicking.
