Well I had to move the signals in order to go hard over to either side with the steering. So with some resrearch and ideas from this site I did the following: Drill a 5/16" hole to run the wires through then hold the light up to mark the mounting holes:



Then mount the new LED signal you got at Wal-Mart for $7.00 with a couple of machine screws:



Wire the new signal to where your old signal plugged in and while you have the number plate off be sure to go to schucks and spend $6.00 and get this flasher and replace your OEM one with it. You need this to run the LED lights:



Then we now have new out of the way signals that will last for some 100,000 hours give or take and IMO don't look half bad either:
