Also, I couldn't remember how the spring hooked on the buckets so I fought that for awhile.
But the LED sidemarker lights from SOKY were easy to install and look great too.
I need to figure out how to reset the glass in the channels though. I haven't been able to find much info on this task yet. It seems from the factory they were just pressed in with some rubber without any adhesive. I ordered the "glass setting rubber" from LMC and it's basically just strips of rubber. The passenger glass fell out of the channel during door disassembly so I took the driver side apart and sandblasted and painted the channels while I was at it. If anyone has any tips on this, let me know please.

I noticed my door glass was set in the channels using butyl rubber. Not sure if that was factory....
