I have just started a complete restoration.. Looking for new headlights that incorporate turn signal.. Has anyone done this already and if so, where do i purchase such lights? Additionally looking for advice on getting Halogen bulbs.

Appreciate the feedback..

Check with a RWC inspector first as this type of indicator may not be legal as they can't be so easily seen from the side of the vehicle.

Also might be worth trying Imported Motors In Springvale, Vic - Mark is very helpful and prices are very reasonable.

Psimitar is correct the flashers are almost impossible to see and will not meet the relevant requirement.6Vhalogen globes are available, I have a few if you want some. Les
