    Trying to add additional external LED turn signals to both left and right turn signals using add on fuse circuit onto engine fuse box.

    Engine Fuse Box Fuse 17 is labelled "Turn & Haz" was the closest thing but it doesn't have a fuse for each turn signals. Closest thing I can think of next is tapping to the turn signal side mirrors from the side cowl, which would require connecting power leads from LEDs through engine firewall with t-tap connectors to turn signal side mirrors. To me, that's too much work to do and probably gonna cut bait on the project.

    Any suggestions on tap into another turn signal source will be greatly appreciated.

    Thought about that also, use t-tap connectors and apply electrical liquid tape around to conseal it. The blinkers I want to use along with the turn signal leads consumes 120 milliamps max so it won't even need a in-line fuse in my opinion.

    Thanks for the suggest guys but it's bait cuttin time.
