Default Fender LED signal lamps!!

These fender LED signal lights have saved my car sooo many times! Any Crossfire owner knows; we have horrible blind spots. This is a great way to prevent a possible lane-change collision without putting those ugly dome style trailer mirrors on our door mirrors!

A quick how to write up with where to find the LED's would probably be appreciated by many forum members! - By the way they look great.

Those are great lights! I had to mount the ugly blind post mirror on the passenger side mirror. Were they easy to install?

So this means other drivers have to look out for you changing lanes unsafely rather than you being careful?
Around here that is called reckless driving, I prefer to set my mirrors correctly and try wreckless driving.

DIY as requested.

Here is a method of installing these lights using light units available off the shelf, maybe the old license plate units with LED bulbs or the new LED units. No cutting of the fenders required. Gorilla tape can be used on black cars and duct tape on silver and SSB cars. I'm looking for some blue tape that matches my car.

I think Red Green would approve.

We don't seem to be getting any additional information or response from RUBRDUX . . . I remember seeing a post from years ago where someone installed turn signals in their side strakes but I can't find it (buy the way I think the new search function is very weak at best) Can anyone find that old thread?

A MUST HAVE! Only thing I need to do extra would be a real close color tape so that as I speed by cutting people off they could not see the type of car (have to go with the plate LED's as that would temp blind them. Reason being, I could then zip the tape off after I got home, and when the coppers came, I would say 'What side lights', the guy must be drunk! LMAO This place cracks me UP!

As with every car I’ve ever owned, I bought my Crossfire totaled and fixed it at cost because my family owns a chain of collision repair facilities in & around Nashville, TN. It’s been several years, at least 6, since this transpired. I wasn’t involved with every step, but I remember I ordered the LED lumen bulb’s off eBay, drilled holes in the fender fins while the fenders themselves were removed, spliced the wiring in with the signal lights, & mounted them in the fins during reassembly of the fenders. I have no DIY steps to show you because, again, the fenders where off the vehicle at that time & it was years ago. Sorry guys. I’d just joined the forum and wanted to show off an aspect that makes my Crossfire different, I’m sure you can all understand that.

I only wash it a few times a year, water causes rust. It also means hard work.

Jesus, Dave. You really need a hobby. This was a year ago.

Have you washed your car yet?

I thought it was funny that the post was corrected for grammar and an obvious spelling mistake was included in the explanation for the correction.

If you dig back in time on this forum you can actually find some hilarious posts.

I actually washed my car for the first time this year last week. I was doing it as my wife came home a bit earlier than expected so then I had to wash hers.
