Default Facelift fender turn signals

I could have sworn I asked this before but I can not find the topic anymore

As we in the US know, the 95/96 cars have leaping can badges in the front fenders. In England there are turn lights instead, like here, above the black line I inserted:

Does anybody know if the wiring is tucked somewhere in the US cars should I want to buy these lights ? I was reviewing the pictures I took from when they removed my fenders to repaint my car, and I can not find any wiring in that area from the pictures.

I like the badges much better, Problem is, the XJS is long and depending on where a car is next to you, they will miss the turn signals that are either in the rear light cluster or the very front bumper .

Go to this web site and follow the instructions on converting the side marker light to work with the turn signal.

I get run off the road constantly in my car, I don't think lights would help. It is just so short...

You sure they blink? Or are they running lights?

I haven't seen them before, but if you really want, wiring them in with some of the other running lamps would be too difficult
