Turnsignal inside headlights! Do or Don't?

Thinking about changing to headlamps with the turns inside. I have a 70 c10 and want to keep my 70 front bumper but I want to change the grille to a 71-72. Should I mount the stock signals behind the grill or go with the headlights with turns built in? I know nothing about these headlamps.

Re: Turnsignal inside headlights! Do or Don't?

I've thought about using those headlights too. My only holdback is quality. I'd be concerned about state laws too. I'm not sure if any of those headlights are D.O.T. approved. I even thought about using the headlight as a blinker but I KNOW that would be illegal in VA.

Re: Turnsignal inside headlights! Do or Don't?

is it legal and will people be able to see them blinking with the headlights on are my two fears. I live in NC, laws depend on how big a jerk the cop wants to be when you get pulled over.
