The front marker lights are pretty much worthless without turnsignals. The old wire and patch ons was not very safe. Time to make it better.

A stock single wire marker light

Get it all stripped down

I wasn't going to place an order to Classic Parts for awhile, so I pulled these off the shelf. Picked up for cheap and no plans to use them.

The hole in the back needs to be opened up to about 11/16". A rat tail file worked well.

Test fitting the new socket

Marking the hole for the #6 hold down screw.

All fastened down

Now we have a marker/turn signal. I'll get yellow bulbs later, maybe.
