If you go in my photos here you will find my 73 in primer without them. Yes, I love the look without and feel it cleans up the body lines.

But, dont think that its an easy job. It was hours of blocking and filling once I patched the holes. Otherwise the patch work will stick out like a sore thumb.

Good luck.

Check your local laws. Most states require a front Amber light visible from the side and a back red light visible from the side. Turn signals and tail lights don't count. If you look at most new cars the front and back now wrap just enough to see them.

I will check the laws but if i dont hafe to have them i think i will lose them

There are other options for the side lights. I read some where about Hyundai mod and you could go and find a flush mount mod at the local pick and pull. You could also fill in the hole and use a small LED setup.

there's an advertiser here that sells flush mount side light kits:

I translate it as:

"That sounds good too. Anyone have any pictures that show the new flush mount lights on a car?"

The difficulty in translation certainly makes me less inclined to offer assistance.

On my '72 undergoing rebuild, the side markers openings are now filled and "disappeared." If, at some point in the future, Johnny Law says that I need markers, I'll go with some small, round LED set up where I can just drill a hole. That's what Datsun should have used from the start rather than those clunky rectangles. But, when you're getting stuff from the corporate parts bin, you make compromises, I know.

Mike, your translation is more accurate than mine now that I look back on the post. Mine is more of a paraphrase.
