Custom turn signals on M1008

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd share a little project I've been working on the last couple of days
A little introduction as to why I've done this: I'm from Italy, and here vehicles are required to have turn signals visible from the front of the car, a thing which squarebodies don't have. So, I could have gone the easy route and just splice some cable and swap in a amber light bulb on the front parking lights, but I'm not a fan of easy nor simple.
Instead, I came up with a 3D printed mount for some LED lights and decided to make up a circuit to make them sequentially light up.

Lo and behold, sequential turn signal squarebody

I like the look and operation that I can see. Are they also marker lights. On my M1031 the front markers are also turn signals, so I a little confused about the first post. But if they can do both I am very interested.

And I just got the smoked lenses…

Sorry for the confusion, maybe I got things wrong as I thought that those lights from the factory are only parking lights

in my case, the lights are only used as turn signals, for markers I use the main headlights as they have some integrated amber lights as well as a couple of small amber LED on the bumper
