somebody did someday in the past the led strip job on them ( between lense and bezel ) what should be pretty much straight up. Regular incandescent bulb could be a bit harder.

For the 69 model years,why bother? One of the few "middle finger" things Chrysler did to work around the feds requirements.
I may sound like a purist,but I do have LED's in my 68 Newport inside and out. Sure great idea and nice custom touch,if it aint broke,why fix it?? On the GF's 69 Fury III will be doing LED front and rear park and turnsignals but leaving the reflectors alone LOL!

FWIW, 70 side markers are bigger than 69. You can open up the holes and it would look ok.

If you want to use incandescent bulbs, the deal is fabricate the housing for the bulb/socket assembly, depending on bulb. MAYBE the easier could be get some 72 and laters sidemarkers, used for the cheap and cut the socket receptacle. Then cut the hole on 69 bezel wherever you want, centered like 72 and lates or at the ends like 70s to glue/weld this receptacle. These sidemarkers uses wedge kind bulbs and sockets are available everywhere
Dunno if this is posible since I can't recall how the 69 sidemarkers are attached on back

Yeap! Holder is in the middle! That would be the challenge, but seems to be a nice idea. Just get the socket with spring kind retainer and match the hole on holder! Get the cut of course done on bezel! And maybe a rubber gasket between holder and bezel to seal it! Some white paint on inner side of holder too. Something like this? http://www.oemsurplus911.com/automotive/lightsockets/8524.htm( I guess holder is able to get grounded when assembling on body ) You could even add a refractor filter in the middle of lense to disperse the bulb spot light on lense, like 72 and later got
