Ltd,
As I was trying to remember my 98 Coupe a few minutes ago, I found the Side Leapers in my drawer.......I pushed them to the side and inside the Fender well was the Blinker-light connection, I ordered a set of clear Blinker light Lens and a couple Amber Bulbs that were chrome coated.....They worked great....I still have that setup on my 2006 Today!

The amber side marker , forward of the wheel, wire was cut. The connector was split, where it plugs to the side marker.
I thought if if the green Leaper, forward of the door, aft of the wheel was non functioning, I could cut and splice the good connector in place of the cut one.
i have the battery disconnected and cannot test at the moment. I soldered the wire . Should be fine. If not, I’ll need a marker plug connector.

Unless my memory as left me. I believe the repeater has the same connection for the Bulb as the Side Marker.....Sometime those little plastic Bulb-Holders get Hot and over time burn the plastic so badly that the Bulb won't stay in the holder....Your good, if you use the Blinker Bulb-Holder as if you were to buy the Plastic Blinkers to replace the Leapers, they usually come with new Bulb Holders.....
BC and out!
