I have a paper template that shows where they go - somebody here on the forum had scanned a fender with the original mounting holes. Send me a PM, will send it to you.

That would be me. The scan is from a 1987 442

Re: If you got the fiber optic indicators on your fenders.HE

In all my years I have never seen FO on 78-80 Cutlasses or 81-87 4 door cars.
With that said the measurements you are most likely to obtain are going to be from an 81-88 from the end of the fender which has a shorter header panel than the 78-80's so placement would wind up too far back on your fender if you were to go from the end of the fender.
Your measurements are going to be needed from the front of the header panel.
My car is in storage otherwise I would get a measurement for you.
I might be able to get one this weekend.
If I were you I would just eyeball it and have the end of the FO line up with the front of the wheel well as such or center it directly above the side amber reflector on your car so their center lines line up.

Re: If you got the fiber optic indicators on your fenders.HE

Thanks guys. I took the advice on the header panel being longer and brought it closer to the front. I just drilled the holes and blasted the indicator housings. Some of my 3mm LEDs came in and they fit in the rubber very nice. I did not know that they only came on 2 door Cutlasses 81 and up. I like the look
