H2 Side Marker ($6 dollar light bulb fix/mod)
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

Diode i used $1.99 pack Zener Diode
