Side indicators for flat fender flares
I am looking for any information regarding the installation of side indicators with flat fender flares on 2010 JK Unlimited.
I was only able to find one video on Youtube showing how to accomplish this by boreing out the large hole near the front of the wheel well and installing a rubber grommet and an led light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgr8SsDfzog The video doesn't explain exactly what led light to purchase and the dimension of the hole/grommet used.
I am wondering if anyone else has done this and if so, what specific light was used and maybe some other ideas as well.
Any info would be appreciated.

Think I found the one he used
I believe that this is the led used in the video.

Has anyone else done this and if so, how easy is it to wire these lights.
Thanks again

I picked up a set from six robblees for around $10-$12 with grommets. Drill a 3/4 hole and slide them in. Cut the plug from old marker light and attach new wires.

Thanks
Nice.. looks like these will be the ones to go with by drilling 3/4" bore. Think I'll grab a pair to please DOT.
I haven't removed the current signals yet but I do see that there is a plug connector behind the rocker panel, though I am not the most skilled at wiring. Should I just cut the current light off at a given point, insert the grommets (after boring), wire the lights through the grommets to the cut ends from where the old lights were, solder, heat-shrink and go.
Also.. it looks like the 3/4" LED's have 2 wires (assuming black and white). Is it pretty self-explanatory as to which/how these wires get soldered? Is there a black and white wire when I cut off the existing light or are the jeep wires colored differently?
Thanks Eric. Just grabbed these from you guys.
Thanks again for all the help.
