Front Turn Signals

Post by NCM »

Has anyone used something like these as front turn signals?

Id like to replace the front blackout lights with these, but they look like they may be a little to big to physically fit up there. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

What else have you used?

I've seen one or two M37s with those lights, but didn't pay attention to how they were mounted.

I use the standard front markers with amber lenses:

I have the stock front lamps with clear lenses and amber bulbs. Very bright and easy to see.

Just my two cents, not a fan of the new larger front and rear lamps, led or not. that being said, I used amber on the front and full red Gamma Goat on the rear, they all flash as well as directional lamps and stop lamp too. I am going to try and post a pic of both.

Thanks everyone. I ended up ordering the larger, modern lights. I like the high visibility factor.

I'm in the process of wiring the turn signals with the signal stat 900. Everything seems straightforward, except for the power source. Looking at the wiring diagram, I think that I need to re-direct the service stop lamp wire (#22) into the grey/black brake wire on the signal stat. I also think I need to tap the stoplight switch feed wire (#75) as the power source for the signal stat via the flasher. Can anyone who has installed the signal stat confirm this?

Thanks,

David

I am soon to try to get my turnsignals to work, have an old Signal Stat 600 there now. I live just south of you in Rock Hill, maybe we can get together one of these days, and you can offer me some guidance on my signals. I have tried to PM you, not sure I am able to get it send to you.
