Since destroying my front turn signal, I've been playing with some alternatives. Here's one that I like.

while you're at it, go ahead and glue a strip in the pods intake
or just chop and swap the running lights

How visible are those from straight on? If those work, that is the cats meow!!

BTW,Is that paint or did you wrap it?

They are perfectly visible from the front. I like that it gets my attention in the seat. I'm always forgetting to cancel my signals.

Maybe an amber strip like that in the pods would look pretty cool for a turn signal as well.

I thought about the pods. But lighting only the pods would sacrifice visibility, and doing both I'm afraid would be a little too Disco for my taste.
I thought about burying one bright red LED up in the POD to create a subtle glow.

Stay away from Red/Blue colors. They are reserved for emergency vehicles and you will attract attention from the wrong folk. A soft white would match the headlights better. I've seen green before but it's not my favorite and looks kinda tacky.

I like the strips on the pods. I put them on originaly as a temporary measure till I could found something more permanent but they are staying now.
mirrors/indicators were the first to go on the cr.

Nah, I got em off ebay in UK. Searched far and wide and these were the best I could find at the time, flexible, stick on, cheap and low profile less than 1/8th thick.
