Marker lights vs reflectors

[Darryl M]

My 69 has reflectors on all 4 corners instead of marker lights. Has anyone ever replaced the reflectors with lights? Does anyone know if they sell a kit to do this and if so who sells it? I’m installing a Centech wiring harness and hopefully it has the wires for the marker lights. Thanks for any info

In 1968 reflectors started appearing on vehicle corners, followed by marker lights in 1970. Amber front and red at the rear.

All the replacement wiring harnesses have provisions for marker lights. You just don't use them if you have reflectors. Yes, you can upgrade to marker lights.

You will have to cut a retangular hole for them, and then there is a square plastic insert used for the screws that hole them in place.

I am sure one of the Vendors sells a kit, or a portion of a kit. Not sure if is complete or not. Good Luck.

my 74 had them from the factory. the AAW harness i bought had provisions for them.

I dont think a "kit" would be anything more than the set of front and rear lights and gaskets. cut the holes and install. i would think the centech kit is set up for them also. i ordered new lights from one of the vendors. honestly dont recall which one. i'm sure they all have them

If you're wanting replacement reflectors that are in fact lighted, but stay in the stock locations low on the fenders, I don't think such a part exists.
I've thought it was a great idea for a new product for a few years now, because I'm a huge fan of the lights and think they make the vehicle they're on look better at night. But I'd like something that mounted in the same fashion as the stock reflectors.

If that's what you meant, you might have to be the one to make them!
Then again, I have not checked into this part on the old pickup truck forums. Maybe there is someone out there doing it and we can use them on Broncos?

I can confirm that the Centech harness comes with the wiring for the marker lights.

As stated, the side marker lights were added in 1970 and you'll have to cut holes in your fenders and quarter panels to add them. You can buy the lights here:

Also opens the option for customizing. Don't have to use stock lights.

You are right. I’ve been thinking about that.
