it's a 72, so they were in the bumper, now in the grill. i drilled a half inch hole 2 inches outside of the original hole in the core support, and fabbed 4 mounts that come out 4 inches to mount the lights to.

coming soon, 67-70 smooth bumper, and better grill.

looks good, you should get some tinted acrylic and cover the amber so they hide better. i've done that on some of my motorcyles to black out the turnsignals and it had very little affect on the brightness or color of the signal.

on this bike i just inserted it behind some clear lenses so it would hide the bulb...

and i plan to buy clear covers and amber or led bulbs, they don't have to work for over a year.
