    I want to ditch the stock front turn signals and replace the with frenched ones. I am trying to decide whether to use round or rectangle, clear or amber. I found these two that I like.

    Are there any rules/laws regarding visibility for blinkers from the side? I was thinking of doing something like french but also was wondering if a person should carry it around the corner?

    I had a similar set in Vanishing Breed. I am going with two headlights on each side so I have to rule those out

    Some cars come with them sunk in from the manufacturer so I don't think that would be a problem.

    It seems like a lot of round up front with 4 head lights and and round signals, althought that might be offset by the rectangular/oval setup of the stock headlight bezel. I do like the visored ones the best, especially for a Frenched rear signal. My two cents..

    My rear tail lights are frenched in Cadillac tail lights. The Mustang front turn signals look really nice. I think those are the ones with visors you are talking about. I was thinking the same thing about to many round lights. I am trying to get a custom oval grill made possibly out of some kind of mesh or perforated metal so rectangle lights may not look right either. Thanks for your opinion. I value it more than you know.

    I like those tri-bar headlights! Do they make them without the directionals (although that is a cool idea)?

    most modern cars now have a side marker along with a turn signal (they work together but the side marker is on the side, not facing fwd)

    I’d go w/ round. for me, the big aesthetic difference between the chevy/ dodge/ford is the round rear tail lights. round just works better imho.

    if you french, I’d put a tiny single led side marker. maybe even do it flush so you wouldn’t even notice it was there till it illuminated.
