You can always mount them on your cowl ( i.e. 32) and make them a dual purpose light driving/parking and turn signal and you can do it with a single element bulb. Somebody posted that circuit on here a few months back.

Tom, can you see your turn signals when your headlamps are on? The reason I am asking is I bought that style lamp for my buddy Lonnies '32 Ford p.u. from Speedway I think. If the headlamps were not on you could see them flash, but with the headlamps on from across the street(day or night) you couldn't see the amber(LED) flashing. Just curious what brand you used.

Sammons,
I got mine from American Antique Auto Parts http://www.aaaparts.cwmax.com/chevyhl.htm
Great question about if you can see them with the headlights on.  Didn't know the answer so I went out to the garage and checked it out in the dark.  I do have halogen bulbs and I can see the turn signals flashing with the headlights on.  Tried to take a picture but didn't come out.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I'm using the headlamps with small LED bulbs that plug in the back of the lamp. The LEDs are single element so you need to run a splitter with resister/diode to have both running and directional lights. I can set you up with resistor/diodes at no cost..have a ton of them.

My son has a set similar to these on his 37 Chevy and you can see them no problem day or night and they have parking and turn signal capabilities. Really light up great.

Use some original cowl lights (easy to find), convert the socket to a dual filament or led panel. The look will blend with the car.
