Looking for some advice on how best to add side turn markers to the X. I deal with some decent rush hour commuting on my drive into work. Lots of weavers. I am religious about using my turn signals - yet without side markers I feel I am not as visible as I could be.
I'm looking to add some simple lights to the X to cover this gap. Mostly to guard against side-swipes. I want my side to be more visible to someone that's planning on moving into the same lane as me and can't see my rear blinker.
CroftonBilly has a nice write up @ the newx. http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48491 I like those lights, but feel the placement is rather low.
Ramness, has a nice idea on placement and I may put CroftonBilly's smaller lights into that area. Ramness's photo: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21513&page=9
Alternatively I may run these: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Universal-14-LED-Turn-Signal-Arrow-Lights-p/led-sku331.htm They certainly up the "cool" factor, though I am unsure how visible they will be for what I'm looking for. (Side visibility)
Lastly I may bite the bullet and go the route 1NonlyX has with dedicated fender mounts: http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd495/bou1991/2011-02-15_13-39-02_193.jpg (I dont care about drilling into the fender, its the $50 price for the Honda Pilot lights + buying Honda plugs that annoys me.)
I feel that in the mirror housing or the fender are the best placements. Thoughts XN?
Thanks!
