Driving lights in place of turn signals
My project is a 70 GMC C10. I have a 72 chevy front bumper that I am going to put fog lights in place of the turn signals. Been looking for some time to find a nice fitting lamp. so far little luck. anyone out there have any hints?

 I think he's asking about the turn signal holes in the bumper, which shouldn't be a problem as I believe the 70 GMC's should have turn signal lights below the grille. It could work, but honestly I'd just use a 67-70 bumper and cut holes to get the driving lights to fit.

[QUOTE=71K20chevy;6029249]Turn signals are overrated
You are right on both counts.. I already have the chevy bumper (w/ cut outs for turn signals) for my GMC (that has turn signals in the grill) not  GMC's are better because they used tight bolts when they built them.\

Re: Driving lights in place of turn signals
You could pick up the aftermarket bumper that has the driving lights fabbed into bumper. Check with LMC or Classic Parts of America; I think they carry it.

Re: Driving lights in place of turn signals
Did anyone ever figure out what fits these holes good? I don't mind cutting the bumper a little to make some good leds fit either.
