Turn signals on aftermarket bumper

I used amber trailer LED running lights for min. Cheap and effective.

 

what are you going to do about the part under the grill? it kinda looks like crap to me. you going to do anything with it? I figure maybe just paint it matte black or something.

 

I went with Harley Davidson chopper style signal lights on mine... they have held up on the original bulbs for almost 10 years now...

if I can remember tomorrow, I will snap some up close shots of where I mounted them..

 

An old pic but, for anyone wanting a lil bit more of a unique turn signal mod, you could use some bolt leds in the filler panels too. eBay junk, aka 'eagle eye' leds, but they still work! Quality leds could be sourced tho and probly still be doable. The eBay ones have faded and lenses fallen off. Currently working on a method to help them last longer. I have a write-up on these as well with more details. If anyone's interested.

 

Was totally going to mention doing the led bolts under the headlights then your post was last in the thread. I really like that look myself. Im fairly.suprised how bright them things are too! I used 4 of them mounted on my inner bed rails for bed lights and they completely drench the entire bed and then some with light!

Gosh the possibilities are damn near endless as far as what you could do about the blinkers!

Also OP like codeseven mentioned you should do something about everything thats exposed on the front end due to that dang tube bumper. It takes.away from the natural good looks of your truck my man. Im a plate bumper guy and that right there is one of and a big reason I'll never have a tube bumper. No offense there, just not my thing. Tube setups are very popular fur sure!

 

I rattle canned matte black behind my TG bumper because all that silver and there was plastic exposed and looked terrible. Then I put a light bar on the bumper and just kept going from there. I kind of want to hide that front light bar now though. Don't like how it sticks out. But it is bright.

 

I think some black paint will make it look good I've been brainstorming on that

 

Yeah they can really look like shit sometimes but you've got yours lookin quite nice by hiding/painting all the ugliness that lies behind the stock bumper.

 

I used Dorman part number 85814 sockets and 921 bulbs thanks to this writeup from @norcal_cyclist
