can't decide what to do with front lights rewire...any suggestions?

i'm debating whether or not to eliminate the side marker bumper light and have that blink with the front blinker so people on the side can see it better and so it's off when the other lights are on. orrrr i'm thinking of rewiring the blinker up front to always be on and have the clearance light next to the headlight the blinker. i can't really decide but i know i want to do something because we seem to have so many lights on at once and it looks a little funny.

i've noticed lately some people have changed their's up a little bit and it looks much better. any suggestions w/ pics to back them up? help is much appreciated...

Id, recomend making the marker light next to the blinker blink w/ the blinker or just taking out the bulb. On my car I just took the bulb out b/c it looks retarded with it on when the parking lights are on. I haven't tried wiring it with the blinker yet, though it would be cool, it may make the blinkers blink slower.

And about the corner lights: Definately leave them on w/ the parking lights or at night your headlights will look very narrow (just doesn't look right). You could also do the mod that makes them brighter by turning around the bulb This makes them almost as bright as your headlights. However when I did this with aftermarket bulbs they kept burning out.

Or, you could do the cefiro headlight conversion and install projector fog lights in the corners like this... jk..hehe

I wired mine so that both the amber bumper lights blink at the same time. (the side one doesn't turn on with the clearance lights, which Is exactly what I wanted.)
