side turn indicators

[hakalugi]

After installing some recent wiring harnesses and aux lights, i did a walk around making sure i didn't somehow disable any of my stock lights and lighting functions. During this testing and walk around, I realized just how little indication there is when my "turn signals" are going on the sides of the truck.

the fronts are in the ARB bumper, the rears in stock locations. on the side is a big nothing.

Has anyone added side indicators - maybe at the rear end of the front fenders or on the side mirrors? Any tips or wisdom?

Thanks

I also wanted side turn signals but hesitant to cut my fenders and found these LED mirror replacement caps.
The lens part sticks out and LEDs face backwards too, so people in your blind spot can see the signal.

I like them, check ebay. I've had them for a over a year and they are good.

Another take on the side markers. Click on my ROTW thread in my sig. Installed sealed LED lights on the bottom of the side mirrors. Never had any issues with them. HTH

Do you have any more pictures of this? That is slick.

Here's what I did:
Corner marker light mod

I wasn't the first to do it, but I did it my way. I wasn't satisfied with just swapping the blinker bulb/socket with the marker bulb/sockets. I eventually removed the ARB lights because it worked so well and installed fog lights in the ARB light compartments. YMMV
