Just curious is all if anyone has done it. I think it would work pretty well if one could achieve it.

any input?

i have done it, but a little bit different... witn my parking lights on, my side corner ligths blink laternately with the turn signals... so between the dead time of the signal, the corner light is on, and vice versa... looks, cool to me, the alernating effect... looks very cool when the parking lights are on and the hazards are on also....

Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but I use my corner lamps as parking lights and turn signals. I replaced the stock turn signals with fog lights, so I had to setup the corners to do double duty.

Jacksonpt, that sounds cool, I want fog lights, but do not want to mount or cut anything on the existing bumper of my T100. If I mount anything too low, I'll just break them off.
Care to share what foggers you found that fit into the existing bumper turn signal space?
thanks

I actually put my fog into my TJM bumper with brackets made for the conversion by TJM... so I'm not exactly in the same boat as you. Have you thought about the performance products valence/fog light combo? I assume they make one for the T100, but I don't know for sure.

So has anyone done this on a 3rd gen? Hooked the corners up to the bumper lenses so all blink?

I know this is old but do you have any pointers for this? I'm currently running without front signals.

Actually funny that I came across this thread, I just did this tonight. (or last night, lol) It is really easy, I can do a write up if there is enough interest (I think there are a couple more write ups floating around web, not sure if they are for a 3rd gen). If anyone has any questions, ill be happy to answer them.


Now I have a question
Currently I have amber bulbs in the OEM corner lights (they have some amber plastic) Is it legal to put white bulbs in there since there is a piece of colored plastic there? How about if I got clear corners? The ideal situation would be to have two bulbs, one white, and the amber one for the blinker, but too much drilling for that.

I'm thinking about using a breadboard with several l.e.d's to replace the running lamp and to also tie them into the turn signals (if not totally replacing the turn signals).
