how about italians to match the turn signals for those who were fortunate enough to pick those up from you.

anyone thought of boring a small hole in the aluminum behind that little lens and installing one or two LEDs to serve as a "town light"--wired in with the parking lights?

That couldn't be done previously using an incandescent bulb because it would have melted the plastic due to minimum clearance between the aluminum grille metal and the plastic lens.

Just a thought.

I like that idea, too. Anyone have an easy solution to doing that? I'd almost want to have a separate little switch for them. A single LED would be more than sufficient for the amount of light you'd want. I'll look around and see what I can find. I could probably get that corn cob holder to light up, too.

I'm going to order some of these and give it a try. I think Mike's idea of wiring directly to the parking light circuit is a good one.

Please update here (or send me an email) If you end up producing this. Id be SOOO down to be a Guinea pig to test this!

integrated "town" light. Standard incandescent bulb, I wired mine into the parking lights in the turn signals (actually had to modify the euro style turn signals for the second bulb)

I bought mine from a reseller in the UK

Do they come pre-wired like those?

Zac,

Here is one from the shack

Green, red also available

yep...they are pre-wired...i used some amber ones in my instrument cluster for turn signal indicators...

and put 3 green ones in my fasten seat belt light on the dash for idiot lights

very cheap and easy to install...and various small sizes

I still make turn signal lenses, but I'm slow...

Zac,

The LEDs look small enough you could possibly run two - say an orange and red. A simple switch allows you to change your mood lighting
