1932 Ford signal lights

[hb32]

I know they did not come with them but decided to add them to my pickup.
Rears are straight forward but looking for ideas on fronts.
I was thinking of using a pair of Guide 682c`s and incorporating the markers for signals but really like the look of commercials.
I have seen the aftermarket repro 32 lights with the signals built in and wondering how effective are they?
Not having a whole lot of luck on image search with google...anyone?

Guides will not look real good on your truck my opinion. How about using fog type lights with one circuit a turn signal.

On my roadster, I used two bulb headlight reflectors and put a signal bulb in one of them for turn signals. They work fine even when the headlights are on.

I have used the cowl lights for turn signals. The fronts are not as important as the rears. I use relays to do the switching so no big clunge on the column. Just a very small switch to ground the relays. I like the fog light idea a lot.

Thanks and keep them coming. How good would the stock style commercials work on 6 volt ?

I've used the turn signal lights mounted inside the original light reflectors and found that they were very visible with the orange bulbs.

I put a pair of early Harley Davidson turn signals on my hot rod and they look like they belong there .

I would mount a set of driving lights on the front bumper and use them as turn signals. Cowl lights are just too much ginger bread for a commercial. FYI, I have a '31 RDPU.

On my last truck I found a set of fog lights with the same shape as the headlights and put amber beams in them, they were very visible.

I used KD-866's on my last car. They are a good looking fog light and you can't miss them when the signal is on. I also used a toggle switch made by American Auto Wire that is specifically for turn signals. It's easily hidden under the dash.

This topic came up a while ago. For those who install the signal light in the headlight there is a more effective (brighter, more visible to oncoming cars) way than using the stock parking light position. Get single-bulb reflectors from Bob Drake or other supplier and the signal light kit from Parr Automotive. I installed these lights in my '34 and am pleased that I don't have any "add-ons" hanging out front.

thanks for the picture and information.
This is probably the direction I will take as well.
