Default Front fender side marker lights

I have a 95' USA 993 that I want to install factory front fender side marker lights on, the ones near the front edge of the door.
Can anyone direct me to a source for the corrent mounting location and pattern of the needed fender holes?

Thanks,

Mike

Ballsy! I don't have the exact measurements, but this is a properly mounted euro side marker.

Robin,

Thanks for the photo.
I don't get the ballsy though.

Ballsy = Anytime you cut a hole in a perfectly good body panel. LOL!

I'm trying to do the same thing, but have been unable to find exact dimension.

This is 1 area where the US cars were better ... just my $0.02 though ... I can certainly appreciate wanting to make a car match a Euro look ... if that's what you're after ... you know ... with amber rear lenses too.

Measure 15.5 in. up from the top of the rubber rocker moulding 4.5 in. in from the edge of the back of the fender - this is to the center of the marker light.

If you need an OE set, I have one that I won't be using. PM me if interested.

...maybe just get a pair of the little lights and stick them on with 2-sided tape? They won't work, but the car will have the look. Simply peel them off when you realize 'ooops...'!

Also, can anyone reccomend a shop that can fit some side repeaters for me near NYC?
Must know 993. etc etc.

My car will be europe-bound soon, and will need these for local regs...

Thanks!

Phil
