Has anyone added side marker lights to an early A body? My 64 Valiant is burgundy in color, and blends in to the dark from the side. I like the 68 round side markers mostly because they would be simple to install, and wire. Reproduction versions are very expensive, and add to that the awful Canadian dollar, and it makes me question if it is worth the effort. Is there a better aftermarket option? If you have added these or other lights do you have pictures.

When side markers became required equipment for the '68 model year, the market was flooded with retrofit products. One of the first, and by far the most popular, was the № 125 from Peterson Manufacturing. Nicely designed, nicely made, easy to install. They still make it in amber for the front and red for the rear. Tough to beat the price, and because it's a 2-wire lamp you can easily put in the brighter № 2886X bulb (send me a PM) and wire the front ones up as described here to do double-duty as side markers and side turn signal repeaters.

How did your side marker retrofit project work out?
