I don't have an answer for you.  I took mine out by unscrewing the big sheet metal nut on the back and tossed them on the shelf.  They will never come back on my car.

Well....I messed with them for a few and figured it out. The fronts unscrew and the lens pops right out. The rears are tabbed. You have to pry it off. I couldn't get my red lens out though. I don't see it coming out without damage. I'm sure there is a way.

What did you do? Repros or just fill them in? I can't fill them in. Also, I hate using Chinese parts when the ones I have just need to be refurbed.

I deleted mine.  I don't think they look good on a '68 Charger.

Gotcha. I like them on a 68 too much to delete them. I'll have to look around and see what's the best option for me....reproduction or pay three times as much to have mine rechromed.

I just ordered a set from Classic Industries and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of them.

Doesn't look like wiring is with them, just the bezel, lense assembly.

Looks like the non Charger version side markers (no crease line). Best to look into it to avoid a possible wrong part purchase.

Good luck. :cheers:
