Has anyone put the blinkers on the fenders of a CJ?

[ColoradoCJ7]

With my new Smittybilt XRC bumper and winch (covered) you can barely see the blinkers. Has anyone ever relocated them to the fender or bumper and made them look good? I have a 79 CJ7 all fiberglass body btw.

When I got my '79 CJ5 the front turn signals didn't work. Problem was the light sockets. Replacements cost a bit more than I was expecting. I bought marker lights and mounted them on my fenders. In the bright sunlight I think people have trouble seeing them flash. If I were to do it over I think tinted marker lights would have worked better. When the sun shines on them it looks like they are always on. If I had tinted lights I think there would be a bigger difference between off and on when the sun is bright.

I have a set of fenders that I am pretty sure came off a postal truck. It has about 4" square marker/turns on the fenders with a little guard over them for protection. Not the prettiest things, but I guess they worked.

I mounted some extra turn signal lights to the sides of my winch plate beside the winch. I used small motorcycle turn signals, very bright even in sunlight.

Purple77CJ7,

Can you shoot a photo of that because that sounds like a great solution as I have 2 holes on my bumper on each side of my winch plate that would fit perfect?

After looking into this I am thinking something like this would work well.

I just ordered that set and will add a pic when they come in and I get them installed.

Very nice, your normal blinkers are as hidden as mine so this seems like the simple solution. Thanks for the idea!
