Default 33 turn signals

What are some suggestions for front turn signal lamp locations? I’m thinking of using the cowl lamps as a turn signal only unless there’s a kit for changing the bulb socket to dual. Thanks

I use the cowl lights for signal and light in my 34. I googled up "light socket" and found some places that make anything you can imagine. I picked out two that just needed some tweeking to mount in the bucket just like Henry's. Then, you need a small globe 2 element bulb, they are out there, you just need to look.

I've used the yellow fog lights on a couple of cars. You can't miss them!

Note: 33 cowl lights are a tiny bit longer than '34s. Some repros are '33s !! I made a cardboard go/nogo gage. What out on the judging field. hehe heh Newc

I always liked fog lights, either on the bumper bracket or on the bumper.
