    An added Relay can be used to select between DRL illumination and Turn Signal Flash.

    Would be cool if they were sequential with the turns.

    Having the entire center of your truck flash on/off to indicate turn direction would be confusing to other drivers and not advised.

    It doesn't have to be the whole assembly, there are so many different installs. Only 3, only 5. Top and bottom, and it can be show use only, for those with Mall Cop tendencies.

    Stock wheels and suspension. Random "utilitarian" mods featured on this great forum.
    On the OR grille, you could get enough little LEDs in there to make an arrow for each direction. Imagine that rolling up behind you at night. There would be no doubt where that guy is turning...
