Thread: side markers

hey this may be a dumb question but i have a 1976 chevy c10 that i am restoring and i was wondering if it is legal to shave the side marker lights off each fender??

There isn't a law in South Dakota that requires them.. I've filled them on quite a few trucks and cars. It's one of them things that nobody ever notices when they're gone, they just notice when they don't work!! If you are ever over on my side of the state, look me up.

I filled them on an 82 and no one ever said anything. Aint SD wonderful.

Are you bringing your 27 to the meet on Phillips or the Dell Rapids show?
I'd like to see it sometime.

in va. you dont have to have them. if the socket is there it has to burn. cut the socket off it will be ok. back up lights is the same way.

Not even close to done yet on the coupe, 61. Got to get the rest of other peoples stuff done first.

Side marker lights are a federal requirement. But I've never heard of anyone being pulled over for removing them. These are another instance of a safety requirement that was unnecessary.
