Now when I have my running lights I see that I don't have any turning signals in the front or parking lights. The parking lights are easy since there are headlight that have room for paring lights from Bosch.

But the turning lights... I have some ideas that could be made in the same style as the running lights and placed in the holes fro the bumper brackets. Have you given it any thought yet?

Well, since you got yours before we were completely done with them ;) we hadn't added that feature yet. We were thinking of using an amper led and drilling a hole through the billet surround and aiming it back at the driving light to use the reflector in there to make a turn signal. We weren't going to use a parking light per se. We'll gladly get you a pair of those when we can find the darned things! I haven't seen this Bosch bulb deal; would it mount inside the headlight housing from the rear? We had though of that but you'd see the bulb in the daytime (I think).

Definitely open to ideas as we haven't finalized how we're going to do this yet.

What about the halo idea?

We also have a bracket coming that will allow the halo bulbs to fit these cars and will not require any mods at all. There again, need to find a good source of amber leds, and then use the halo portion of the bulb (ring around the edge) to be the parking light/turn signal off the factory park light/turn signal wiring.

The headlights with parking lights is just the ordinary headlight but it will have a small bulb under the lights. The size used on the Camaro is pretty common on a lot of cars, Volvo used to have the same size for example and some European cars had those headlights with parking in them.

About the ideas, I will make a sketch of what I have thought and send it to you.
