Very intersting. Would it be legal in the US to move the indicator light in the headlamp? For example if you replace the sidelight with the indicator light? So in other words replace the sidelight function with the indicator light? Than you could make the whole indicator light and headlampwasherarea also red.

You woukd need to add turn signals somewhere. Probably lower them into the bumper.

Yeah! That is exactly what i thought of.

Don't the US cars have parking lights in the main front head lamps like the EU cars? If you rewire them to be the indicator lights and put orange bulbs in, that could be the solution (if this would be allowed where you live).

Or maybe the parking lights could be rewired to be parking lights when the indicator is off and be indicator lights when the indicator is on.

If your talking about the side marker lamps, they do not flash and in the US you can't use them as turn signals even if they did. The LED turn light hook right up to the factory turn signal with this:

This is something I'm playing around with. Mesh turn signal covers. Just laying on headlight in primer on a old faded amber headlight but you can get the idea.
