On the radar are LED boards for the front turnsignal bucket. LEDs would be pointing directly to the front of the car to focus optical energy forward.

There are 3 versions I can think of:

1) US lens: All amber LEDs; all on low for running lights; on high for turnsignals.

2) Euro lens: White LEDs on the lower section; on for running lights; amber for turnsignals. White LEDs would turn off when turnsignals are on.

3) Clear lens: White running LEDs on the outside of the lens; Amber LEDs in the center for turnsignals. White LEDs would turn off when turnsignals are on.

Which versions would folks want? I think I would like the clear lens. The oval running lights would be unique.
