Interesting... I find the marker lights are not bright and aren't directed properly for people dead on from the front to see well. Pics of the light?

Video please from different angles.

Also are you replacing the relay to accommodate for lower resistance LEDs? Otherwise you'll have the rapidly flashing signals.

PO replaced lights with all in one led trailer lights. Couldn't take the schizophrenic flashing, and I had a short so I added a pair of old school lights.

Not that I think you care, but there are SAE standards for turn signals (adopted by NHTSA in the US) https://law.resource.org/pub/us/cfr/...j588.1984.html. They require, for instance, that if the turn signal is within 60mm of the headlight (your case), the total light output has to be 2.5 times the standard output. Also, it's hard for me to imagine that you could even make the basic light output with the reflector painted black. (Is that just for "style"?)

Is the purpose of this modification so that you can replace the bumper (and still have legally required turn signals)? Or is it just for style?
