I meant to ask you, how bright exactly are they when they beam into your cab?

didn't notice. all i saw were the lights in my mirrors. i'll bet they'll light it up pretty well, especially if you angle them down some

does your front bumper signal lights stay on all the time or did you just have your 4ways on?

x2. now that you mention it, i didn't notice the other night. it'd be neat if they functioned as both a marker light and turn signal

You can do it, it's just like converting the corner running lights to turn signals. Which I have already done on mine.

I didn't like the idea of people on the side of me not knowing I have my turn signals on.

I think I had it in two separate threads, one being my build thread. The other was a thread for the conversion itself, I think 3 of us contributed to that thread. It involved using a pill bottle cap.
