Moving Turning Signals

[classic67]

So i am looking to do away with the marker lights under the headlamps im trying to find a way to move them. The problem i have is the light socket is to big with the bulb to go anywhere on the back of the headlight housing. So what i was thinking is to use l.e.d strips in the housing as turn signals. It hasn't been done Ive seen the idea as just added lights with a toggle but never turn signals so then comes the wiring, in the housing there are three bulbs the front two are marker lights and turn signals the side one is just a marker so i need to splice in somewhere but where.

i think someone on here has done similar with the led added aftermarket headlights.

these:

those are nice dont get me wrong but i like to make my own stuff when i can. Do you know where i can splice into?

[petrified.rabbit]

they make leads that you can plug into the oem bulb connection. BUT you can just splice into the wires that go to the bulb. essentially just use those wires, they should be long enough to read LEDs inside the headlight.

unless your gonna retro fit some real projectors in that housing like the Acura RX350 or Morimoto Mini H1 don't buy it, the light output is absolute garbage. i bought mine, they arrived and were on the car for less than a day so they were removed untill i order my RX350's and hid kit.


any red wire going to a turn signal bulb should do, put a tiny pin sized hole in it, hook a multi meter to it and see which wire pulses with your turn signal.

Is there a place that sells projector bulbs? I was looking at those D-Spec parts myself but if they suck...

I'd actually like to do the same. Interested to see what you do. I love the way your car sits, using it as inspiration..most likely to copy lol

im ordering some RX350s from lightwerz hopefully tomorow morning, and depending on shipping they should be here in Canada in a week, keep in mind the projectors im getting are $420 no bulbs or ballasts.

That's better than what I found. I just found the halos in my link. :P
Now I just have to figure out what all the options mean...

Edit: Let's see if I've got this all correct...
5000K bulbs are "pure white"
Our car uses the 9003 relay.
CCFL Halos would look awesome as running lights.

Is that right? If so, these will definitely go on my "wish list." It would look nice to Joey Mod the headlights and install these.
