Two thoughts

When I populate the unused non US turn signal lenses, I'll do what some one already mentioned - install real sockets and LED bulbs made for the road. This seems like an easy way to get good brightness as the 'testing' has already been done.
Also I'm thinking the bulb will be less of a 'point source' than naked LEDs - I prefer the whole light to be as evenly lit as possible. I'll try to find a bulb with just a little frosting (or other diffusion.)

After switching all the turn signals to LED (lower power consumption and longer life) I was thinking of mod'ing the electrical circuit for these lights. Instead of having the lights OFF unless signaling a turn, why not have them ON all the time as running lights then, to signal a turn, flash them Off/On?
Now they are normally Off then to signal a turn they flash On/Off. Given the higher power consumption and shorter lifespan of the stock incandescent bulbs the old system used to make sense. But now that we have LEDs why not switch to a better visibility solution ? I think the lower power consumption and longer life of LEDs make it feasable.
What do you guys think?

Hmmmm . . . I'll have to check out the turn-signal relay ratings, could it hande being on all the time? This is all a little premature as I've not yet pulled the drawings on this circuit.
