    You can pretty much weld or bolt them where ever you want

    I started with the Trail Gear turn signals but they were way too dim and small to be practical. I got some amber LED strips and stuck them to the tubing. If you squint you can see where I had my license plate, it's since been ziptied further up and to the side.

    Can I ask what suspension you're on and tire size? And cool idea for the turn signals

    Suspension is stock afaik, running 31x10.5. It had the smaller wheels and tires when I bought it, don't remember the size. The front is a little low with the winch on and I rub plastic on hard turns. I've had a pair of tundra springs ready to swap over for months now, someday I'll have time to do the work and quit hearing the rub. The LED's came off of ebay. They're adhesive backed, simple solution to the problem!

    They are LED so when they blink they are plenty bright or you can do that blinker relocation into your corner markers
