What are my options for turn signals??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevyguy_72 · 01-05-2006, 01:56 AM

I have a 72 and no longer have the front bumper and i need turn signals / markers for the front. I was thinking LED but have not found anything. I do have a full phantom billet grill so i was thinking maybe a flat row of LEDs or maybe a small circle. If anyone knows of anything let me know.-
I had some headlights with some integrated but the lights are junk and you could not see the amber bulb anyway.
thanks

A while back somebody posted a picture of some headlights with turn signals built into them. Hopefully someone else will chime in who can be more helpful than me.

i'll be running a 67-70 bumper on my 72. i took the 72 lights and mounted them behind the grill. angle iron, sawzaw, welder, nuts, bolts, washers, primer and paint is all it took, oh and the drill bit i used.

There was an add in the Custom Classic Truck mag a while back showing some H-4 Halogen sealed-beams with LED turnsignal light on the lower part of the light. They were from http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/browse....at=100C&skip=0.

These are the original lights from this truck. The one on the drivers side is a little dim.

Those are sweet. If i had 180 laying around i would probably buy them. For now i will need to go the cheaper way. I currently have the headlights with the turn signals built in and they are not bright enough. I decided to go with the first LED option
Thanks all

Isn't changing a bulb a nightmare this way?
I know it won't happen every week, but still it's a hell of a job just to change the bulb.

I actually tried it before I bolted it down and it's a piece of cake with a magnetic screwdriver and a little patience.

i've gotten really skilled at removing the grill. it's held on by just 4 bolts, 1 in every corner in my case.
