Any luck installing front signal in body kit?

I had mentioned before, I'm installing a Drift kit from KrazyKustomz.com on my '92 4-banger. It's working out OK (aside from some pretty big gaps in certain places), but there's nowhere to install the front signal lights.

As far as I can tell, these are required in NC, so I have to find a way to get them in there. Has anyone else mounted signal lights in the front bumper kit? If so, how? It doesn't look like I have enough depth anywhere to cut a hole and fit them.

BTW, a quick reply would be very much appreciated. My car isn't exactly street-legal right now because of this.

as far as i know most people buy after market turn signals(from an accord i think?) and place them just under the the 2 outer holes....ill try to find a pic.

Thanks, Fry, that does help. Not what I was hoping to hear, though, since I'm sure that's going to be another $100 out of my paint budget, but at least it looks OK.

no problem, if money is tight you could just use your stock turn signals and mount them in the same place as in those pictures and worry about the accord signals later down the road.

I tried that this evening, but unfortunately it just didn't have the depth. The OEM lights are about 4" deep including the part the bulb goes in, but I only have about 3" from the metal bumper frame to the outside of the kit. So had I put these in, they would stuck out funny.

I'm going to check into the pricing of the Accord lights tomorrow. I'm guessing they're not as deep?

ya im assuming the accords are much shallower, but if all else fails you could just hack away some of the access plastic to give you the depth you need with a dremel tool. always a possibility.

I paid $19 at a local speed shop for mine.

If you are paying over 100..why not get projectors? they got a socket for a front turn signal and there IS room for it if you cut the housing from the bottom Im going to do that to mine as soon as I get a body kit.
