I've been thinking of this but in other places. Could it be spliced with the blinkers?

AFAIK any side marker light in front of the rear axle has to be amber. If you look at dualies and commericial vehicles, that's how they are.

Yeah, I've got two power sources going to it, on from the side marker for running lights usage
and one constant from the battery, for show.

Thanks for the info



After looking into it again, I think there would be a very minor difference in the "seen" effect if I use an amber LED.
I've already got one for a test but it was too dim, so I'm looking for another. (Pics to follow when it's done)

Nice! What a huge difference (at least what I can tell from the pics) Definitely lights up more of the engine bay. Good work!

I wired a set of three LED markers in series with my front side markers on my Fiero, and mounted them in the space between the side mirrors and their housings, at the bottom of the mirrors, using superbright automotive LEDs from Pep Boys. I like the idea of grinding the tops and making them less directional (like to never got them aimed AND mounted to my satisfaction), though, and will be doing some grinding on them in the very near future, to include the cone inversion. I'm also going to try an experiment using the grinding technique in conjunction with a frosted clear spray to see if the light dispersion can be improved still further. Their light being so very directional is the biggest gripe I have with the use of LED's in certain automotive applications.

Very nice. I've never seen anyone do this before, it looks good.
