I gotta say the test-tube over the light makes them perfect

These are what I'm using for the small "corner light" and I'm using a LED rectangular running light (trailer or truck) for the turn signal lights.

You can find these little LED corner lights and the sockets for them for around $5.00 per each side on Ebay.

Thanks,

Chris

Do you mean the amber lens? The Fiero front turn signal lamps located in the front bumper are the exact same lens pattern as used in the Murcielago headlight turn signal. The Fiero lenses are much larger overall, they just need to be removed and cut to the proper shape to fit the brow on the murcie light. The murcie turn signal lens also has a curved face to it and the Fiero is flat. 5 mins in the oven is all it takes to make the lens curve to the right shape.

In the original bulb is not thus ejected in the front, but deep inside. And before the white plastic cap lamp, bulb is not visible.

But your work very nice. -)

You could cut the back out of a marker light and use the bulb socket that fits the light.  It would be removable from the rear also.  Jim

Thanks for the reply. Here's what i did so far. I bought a 194 socket and bought 2 LED's that fit the 194 socket and used this for the lamp. For the mount i just used a 3/4" square tube to hold the socket and bulb in place. Now i just need to mount it from the inside and make it removable like you said.

Unfortunately, that lamp/lens is not something thats available on its own as fr as I know. I can tell you what I did on mine though!
The lens I used is actually a cut 7/8" test tube. It fits perfectly in the brow piece and is bonded in place on the backside with window-weld. The lamp is something you'll have to choose yourself though, any bulb/holder that fits will work, its all up to you how you want to mount it to the bucket so the bulb is replacable if it burns out, and the mount area is sealed to prevent water from entering the bucket.
