Re: custom turn signal (front) ideas

I think your taillights are frenched perfectly, they have just enough of the bezel showing.

For the front... have you seen the headlights that have turn signals integrated into them? Then you could shave the hood. But they might be too street-roddish for the theme of your truck.
