turn signals in a 36
I'm thinking of putting front turn signals in the reflector plates where the
parking lights originally go. Any of you tried this with your 36 and how do like this arrangement? Terry NY |

Re: turn signals in a 36
I installed a turn signal kit from C&G a few weeks ago. I had converted the sealed beams that were in the car when I got it to halogen headlamps. The halogens came with new reflectors which had the park light bulbs already set up with an extra wire for turn signals. Works great.

Re: turn signals in a 36
I have stock headlights in my 36 pickup. I changed the parking light to turn signals and they work great. I made the stock bulbs orange with a marker, I couldn't find orange 6 volt bulbs.

Bill, orange bulbs came with my halogen kit. If you want the vendors name, let me know.

Re: turn signals in a 36
Anybody ever use the turn signal kit that MACS sells that go behind the horn grilles ? I keep looking at them in the catalog, but I don't know how "cheesy" they'd look. They're pretty pricey, too.

Re: turn signals in a 36
PeteVS,
You are right, they not as effective in the headlight but they are still visible. Most of my driving is done during the day anyway. For me it was the ability to keep the stock look with only adding a tail light to get signals. Bill |

Re: turn signals in a 36
I used the Appleton fog lights with dual element bulbs to get both turn signals and fog lights.
