Not sure on the sliders, but i popped off my blinkers and spliced into my running lights and threw in some amber bulbs. Looks much better IMO, though my white LED's would look nice next to my HID's but stil want blinkers. i say, DO IT!

Cutting the left side cover is not easy. The angle is really steep.

I used a tip that I seen somewhere on this forum to locate the mounting hole with a laser. Using putty on the inside of the plastic works well also.

Mark the center of the hole then drill a pilot hole. I used a hole saw to then cut the diameter. You just really have to pay attention to the angle that you are drilling. The hole will be oval (not round).

Its not a very difficult task, but I have definately cut easier frame slider holes.

adchan is on a distinguished road
you should have a replacement bolt that is longer.

I used the laser method and ended up larger than I needed, cleaned it up with some auto trim. Just go slow and make sure you angle is right.
