I was thinking of putting the blinker by the headlights as well. That way you can remove the factory blinker. Having it look like 2 air intakes is a nicer look and having an amber DRL up higher will make the car look different even from a distance in the day time.
The only thing you have to keep in mind is that the closer the turn light is to the headlight, the brighter it needs to be in order to see it.

I'm like, jeez, get off my back already.
LT1-7, maybe you could post some drawings or something of different designs, and let people choose the one they like the best. If the one with the blinkers gets voted down, then you'll know. Just an idea.

Don't get me wrong- I AM one of the people who wants fixed headlights. I just don't want a blinker incorporated in. That'd ruin it for me and force me to finish making my own set- which unfortunately is going too slow due to my busy schedule. (I am aware that for the first 15 years firebirds had fixed lights too)
I think a few design sketches would be an excellent idea as JasonWW suggested! Then you could do a Poll and see what most people want. I mean if you are creating them, don't you think you'd want the input from your target potential buyers? That would be wise to make the most money possible IMHO. Plus you wouldn't be out as much as if you went all the way and got your first prototype done only to discover more people don't like it. Having a few sketches rendered or drawn would be the more cost effective route. $.02

cgworth, what do you want out of your lights? A better beam spread, sharper cutoff, HID or do you just want to get rid of the popup design?

That's just a direct copy of the C5 lights. It just doesn't work well on the TA. I would ditch the large reflector blinker light and then have only the 2 projectors. I would then switch them around so the big one is the lowbeam and the smaller one is the highbeam.

Note, this has nothing to do with LT1-7's design. Just me goofing around with ideas.
