Mounting and fitting of front turn signal lights

I didn't like the way I saw lights mounted in the grill opening so I scoured the junk yards in search of the right radius front turn signal light fixture. I found an almost perfect match in a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

I did have to change the front shape a little cutting off about an inch of material and filling in with several layers of fiberglass.

Below: Its hard to see but cut a .090 steel piece for the assembly to lock into and the fiber glassed it into place.

Below: Left photo is what the turn signal looks like on the finished car. On the right photo, I outlined the .090 steel piece in red. The assembly locks into the inside and a screw fastens it to the body on the outside.
