I'm trying to look for a pair. Are there universal ones or are there actual ones for an Eclipse? Trying to do a euro theme, hehehe. Thanks.

Do I have to take off the front fenders and drill into them? Thanks for the info.

You don't have to take your fender off if you can run wires. What I'd caution you about is that these look just like the APC ones and if they are they're pure shit. The lenses are poorly attatched by these little tiny clips that 99% of the time are broke right out of the package. And even if they aren't broke you have to use some kind of sealant to hold the lenses on because 1 bump and they fly off. That's why most of the kids you see with aftermarket side markers are missing the lenses.
Also if you decide to get them find out what bulb they use first and try your best to get an LED replacement for that bulb. Most of the time the lenses aren't made of high temp plastics and they are too close to the incandecent bulbs and they melt the lenses. You can remedy that by putting LED bulbs in there which burn brighter and cooler.
My conclusion is don't waste your time, they can look right if done correctly but there are too many flaws and shit with most of them.

and to add to ^^^ post... once you drill the holes theres no going back without new fenders and paint.

Wow, thanks for the tips Aaron. I guess I won't go through with these then. Downside weighs more than the upside.

Shit, I'm gonna get some just because people here drive fucking crazy. I love it, but i gotta watch out to.When everybody is switching lanes at 90mph,taling on the phone, eating a burger,yelling at there kids, looking at the gps and watching tv at the same time, these might help me not get hit.

Damn you DJTrickee. Now I might get these things again. I actually want the amber ones though to flow with the whole car, since I got the amber sidemarkers on the bumper and the amber tail lights too. We'll see.
