    I guess I don't understand the question? Does "blinkers" mean something other than turn signals? Don't ALL trucks come with turn signals?

    Confused!, no more..

    "Blinkers" were most commonly used in the carriage trade, it helped eliminate the horse's peripheral vision and reduced startling and run-aways..

    No Blinders go on the driver, Blinkers go on the fender and the mirror brackets.

    Ohhhh, o.k.....now I see. The original turn signals are mounted beside and with the headlight....and the OP wants to add a set on the fenders! I wouldn't do it myself. If I felt I needed additional lights, I'd mount them to the mirrors....that way if you don't like the looks or felt you made a mistake...you ain't got holes drilled into your fenders.

    Mirror mounted ones were an option, they were just Truck-lite # 2750, you may find the wires are already there and capped off in the mirror harness.

    If you run in salty conditions or gravel expect to keep fixing the wiring on the fender lights unless you shield the wiring from road debris
