Why add additional expense to the lights. The turn signals work just fine. If you put the turn signals with the lights what do we do during the daylight hours not to mention the what do we do with the existing sights.

Its getting complicated, but it would be possible to install a light that fills in the whole pop up area, which uses the lines of the headlight as as a border instead of the black trim.

If you can, pop up your headlights and let me know what you think. Again, not sure if this can be done in a timely manner or not, so i'll guage interest and move accordingly. Keep in mind no one's really going to ever see these lights unless it's dark out, so how importaint is style?
Keep it simple and us the existing black surround. The more it looks like original the less legal problems you will encounter.
