My attemp at bumperless signals

[KandJinmaine]

Here's my attempt at bumperless signals, and a first attemp at posting a photo.






The signals are made from solid aluminum with a DOT approved dual element LED light.

A couple more shots...







They mount in the original bumper shock mounts and are wired up directly like the original lights. I have plain ones in the rear, but I am thinking of putting red LEDs in those. Not sure if I'll keep them at this length, or maybe shorten them up a bit.

A very appealing to look!

Thanks Don, I think adding the chin spoiler will complete the look. Hoping to do so before the weather turns!

Very cool. Just make sure they are visible from a side angle.

I had mine in a very similar position for a bit. While making a slow right turn a pedestrian almost walked right into the side of my car. We were both very surprised by the other person's seemingly idiotic actions until she very colorfully explained to me that she "Couldn't #@$&!^@ see no #@$&!^@ turn signals."

Scary to think what could have happened, so I moved them to a more traditional location.

Thanks Joe, and thanks for the warning. The LEDs stick out just a bit, semi-spherical like, but I can see how that could be a bit of an issue. I think I would worry about it more if I were in a more urban environment, but hopefully it won't be an issue up here in the woods.

One fix for that is to do the quick wiring mod to make the side markers flash with the turn signals.

I've been meaning to look that mod up and add it to my wish list.

Very nice, and a nice job on the photo in general. Lighting and composition are great, really makes the car sing.
