I've noticed some people install them on the fender extensions which I do not care for. Has anyone used the parking lamps as turn signals on the front? I was thinking about doing that but not sure if it is legal. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | I have a 50 and I use mine the only restriction I ran into (every state is probably different) is I had to use amber bulbs or lenses for them to be considered turn signals. The double filament sockets are available from most of the vendors for use in doing this. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 581 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 581 | Yes, I added a turn signal to my truck and used the parking lamps with an orange double filament bulb. Works for turning and running lights. I bought the bulbs at a FLAPS. I did have to add an extra wire for them but then I had to for the new signals. Oh, I also had to enlarge the hole for the base to fit.

I bought the kit but haven't installed it yet. You do have to run another wire. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 252 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 252 | I made mine from some double filament sockets laying around but did use amber bulbs. It worked well and looks good. | | |
