I can’t stand how big the turn signals are so I am trying out this idea, they are led and were $14.79 on Amazon. I vacant installed them up yet because I want to paint the chrome bezel black. ![IMG_2428](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/2/2882c624911955d7fdbeb0b28384732b4ed0113d.jpeg) ![IMG_2429](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/e/e73c97e9981ca392c978e3338a5aec5700288a21.jpeg) ![IMG_2431](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/7/75d997c7fe12a2fe3ca9d2ddc8ad839b2db802c7.jpeg) ![IMG_2430](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/a/a800b4c36427bc4312a42188bf6fcccc9b08adb9.jpeg) ---

The large colored lens was likely to meet federal side visibilty requirements. Im fairly certain no one here gives a chit about that anymore here, if they ever did. Even less fvcks are probavly given where you are Those actually look pretty good with the chrome. ---

The front turn signals stick out so cars coming from the side can see the blinking light I’m not sure why there are no side markers [running lights] on GEMs My 2013 has a dual filament bulb in the turnsignal, but no running light wire on the socket? The headlight housing has a small running light bulb in addition to the head light ---

I replaced the socket with a 3 wire socket and put in a dual bulb (LED). I tapped into the headlight line for power source. Now I have amber running lights. Looks much better and makes the GEM more visible at night. ---

Where did you get the 3 wire sockets?
