I’m looking for a generic conceptual solution that I can adapt to different cars. All older ones. Let’s start with my 1999 F250.
I thought of some LED marker lights, the kind you put on a trailer or truck as reverse or clearance lights, somehow mounted on the A-pillar or side mirror or front fender or bumper corner, wired to the turn signal circuit before the flasher. Cars still use discrete flashers, right?
(Edit: Ah, the flasher relay is actually always hot, the turn signal switch is downstream, when the switch is closed the circuit to the turn signal is completed. So my naive idea won’t work. Unless I use the delayed off relay!)
Fog lights don’t illuminate to the side. I run with fogs on all the time for this reason, but they’re not good enough.
