the bulbs have 2 filaments, so I wired both filaments for turn signal operation, not a fan of running lights. So with both filaments operational they are bright. they are 8w bulbs and due to their low resistance they will require a Solid State blinker thingy like you use with LEDs.

Lonzo is the one that dsigned and built the brakets, well thought out for sure, and the stalks on these signals are as short as possible without running in to the headlight bucket

Thanks Dwight. On the next one the forst step will be to grind down all the casting gates to allow smoother cuts and easier drilling.

did you just polish the face and leave the rest painted grey? that's a nice look
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

In short, yes. I used the right angle grinder to remove the ridges, then sanded the face all smooth (100 grit, then 220). Then I do a series of rouges to get the desired finish, then bead blast, then another type of rouge to give it an incredibly smooth finish. It's like glass.
I didnt touch the sides, too much damn work to refinish the entire thing.
