    Of anything i could say could be disigned better its the light layout..kinda bothers me there is no corner trun sig in front...that lil running light should blink....there is no side profile blinker....but the rear light is actually backwards...the bottom brake light is visible from the side who knows why...but the turn sig can only be seen from back...i tried to swich bulbs around but sockets r different...

    You can certainly rewire that little running light in front to work with the turn signals, but it's such a useless low power light that it wouldn't do anything. I do think that the front turn signal is exceptionally weak. I'm planning on converting it to LED sometime in the future to make it nice and bright. Your rear light concern, IMO, is irrational. None of the cars my family owns has a rear turn signal that is visible from the side. FWIW the brake/tail light is visible from the side because it acts as the rear side marker light. Your front side marker light is that little running light in the corner of the headlight assy. An option for your front turn signal concern would be to add a turn signal to the fender like what was done on Japanese market 80 series Land Cruisers.
