[T2] moving turn signals

[david raistrick]

it's kind of value destructive - if the next guy wants a early bay
that looks like an early bay, he's going to have to redo the nose at
even greater expense.    your bus would just be another hackjob on the
market.

you'd have to source new late bay turnsignal housings and lenses obviously.

and I have no idea if the lights operate the same way - certainly they
don't from split > bay. :)


I'd just buy the right lower nose piece and patch the upper holes:

I understand what he is saying, and am in agreement with it. I was wondering (aside from aesthetics) is there any problem with doing something like this? Ie will I run into other problems with wiring?
