My fender indent blinker light / turn signal custom DIY mod.

[Mdmac]

Finally got around to doing this the right way. I tried the Mabbet revised version with the smoked lenses, and wasn't a huge fan they just look too plain and stick out too far on the fender compared to OEM.

So I used my own OEM XLT fender inserts and painted them to match. Now the only Chrome left is the headlights and tail lights bowls. I used a small 5/8" round amber LED for the blinker and a frosted lens cover. I ordered the turn signal adapter harness from custom Auto works store for $50, way overpriced but it was so much easier than doing it myself for the harness.

I got the LEDs as well as the wiring to extend to the OEM blinker from super bright LEDs.com here in St Louis Missouri. I already had the paint so that was no extra cost all in all the mod probably cost me about 85.00, Plus my time for painting. If anybody needs part numbers for LEDs are the blinker harness adapter let me know.

These are much brighter than the Mabetts with their smoked lens and easier to see in the daylight as well. Really happy with the way they turned out.

Very nice job. I kinda did the same thing except paint mine body color. They are Turn signal indicator and they flash when I lock/ unlock my truck. Got some small amber LED bulbs from Amazon and got the Amber Lenses from ETSY. I just wired them in and it was pretty easy. You obviously took a little more time, very nice. Short Video.

These look great! do you have links to the bulbs/harness and lenses?

Not to dispel any modification made by the OP (nice job, btw), here's an alternative but similar blinker light conversion modification for anyone who might be interested.

Hello, I don't have any links and to be honest I'm not very savvy about including them with my message I got the Amber Lenses from someone on the ESTY APP, people make all kinds of products and seel them on ETSY. The Bulbs I got from Amazon and I can include a picture of the label that is on the bag. As far as a wiring harness I do not have one I just wired them in the the Turn Signal Indicator wiring. Sorry that's probably not what you were wanting but that's the best I can do. It was a pretty easy process. I did remove the XT Badges and had to drill a small hole for the lights and I did use a Clear Silicone to glue the Amber Lenses in place. So far I have had no issues so best of luck Let me know how it goes
