    face change

    I like it. I think they'd be better named running lights... Got a vid of the turn signals in the corners?

            Yes. Bravo. Should have been factory, but they're a little high for fogs, yes?
            Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

              It does seem as though the corner light should blink as it is more visible from the side of the the car. Early Australian Festivas got a two bulb corner light designed with one one bulb being a blinker and one a marker.
              Showing the blinking option for the clear corner lights

              European Kia prides instead got a separate side repeater blinker mounted between the front wheel well and door.

              We got neither here on our North American cars, as was the case with most options available on the 121, Pride and Festiva models. Nice mod. I like the corner and bumper light to blink for more visibility.

                So your driving around without any marker lights? I thought it was a legal requirement to have marker lights. Now if you go the dual bulb corner lights than this might work.

                    My marker lights haven't worked since I got the car, and haven't had a problem from the law enforcement, even have been pulled over a few times and no one says anything about it. Other states might be different though. I do like this idea though!

                      A high-intensity side-lighting LED strip stuck to the interior of the housing behind the lens will work as a turn signal. One small hole is required to run the tiny wires through, and silicone will seal that hole. You just push the light strip through the stock bulb hole to get it in there.
