Hey guys,

I need signal lights on my 41 but am hoping to avoid having to install the big round ones on the forward fenders.

I had a thought......would it be possible to us the forward parking lights as signal lights?

Something like how the rear park/brake lights are signal lights?


I was thinking they maybe dim but I could always put a LED in it??????

Has anyone ever seen this or have any thoughts on it?

Thanks

Yes, it is definitely possible. In the tech tips, look up the signal stat system. Could do LED's, that's true.

I did it with my '40. Need to change out the bulb sockets to the double contact style, then use the two filament bulb. Took a little bit of modification but works fine. My system is 12v., and I rewired the truck with a Painless kit. I know the '41/46 are different configuration but should still work. Other options would be using LED's, or switch headlights to the style with integral turn signals built in.
