I am working to put turn signals in my 72 road racer and I have rectangular openings to place some rectangular lights in, but having trouble locating the lights.
I want to use double filament standard turn signal bulbs, not LED. Rectangular area is about 3-12" tall by 2" wide.
Do any of you remember or know of turn signals on other cars that may do the job?
Clear lens or amber lens will work, but i need to see what I can locate.
Drill a hole and either rivet or screw the 1157 holder into the side marker housing- Done!!
or this one-
I just ordered some of these recommended by Richard. Will see if I can make the side markers work. Will consider other ideas as well but thank you all fr your help.

My grille has been powder coated black which makes it hard to see clearly. I had my first prototype here in chrome still so I am posting the opening so you can see it here. There are six tabs in the opening which I can remove. Opening dimensions are 3-1/2" top to bottom; and 2-3/8" side to side when tabs are removed.
I hope this makes it a bit more clear.
Oh, and the side marker light is unfortunately too large to fit into this opening. Forgot to mention that earlier.

Theres a bunch of 80-90s mini trucks that had chrome bumpers with rectangular signals with smaller bulbs. should maybe look into those. If i were you id just cruise a local junkyard to see what looks good.
