No, it's a side marker light. They're just there to help make the vehicle more visible from different angles at night.

European made cars usually have the side marker on the quarter panel located where Ford places the black trim level ensignia. Domestic car makes do not normally utilize the TS feature for the side marker.

Am I taking crazy pills or are we talking about the orange reflectors, driver and passenger, on the front fender? Cause they definitely blink like turn signals...

now the side badging is just plastic, that's true.

You are definitely taking crazy pills. Watch this video. At the 2:33 mark you will see that the lights on the front fender do not blink.

Thank you for that, I was sitting here like damn I was just watching them blinking at me....I guess I was the one blinking.

I remember an old article from my Miata days about making the front side markers into turn signals as well. Something to do with splicing a couple of wires so the side marker becomes a floating ground for the turn signal.

Really depends on how many wires are involved, though. This was a '95 Miata and I think there were only something like three wires involved. Could be harder nowadays.

I think it should be an indicator. I’m wondering if it’s hard to see the front indicator from the side of the truck?

I saw them blinking a commercial. But when I watch other videos they don’t blink
