Looks simple enough. I think I'll try it this spring.

It extends the blinker fluid change interval because they're closer together, but you probably already know that part. Mostly, they're relocated because you can.

So the signal relocation extends the blinker fluid change intervals...now I get it!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm looking for a sky hook...

Nice job!

I relocated my signals using a Custom Chrome kit I found on eBay for $15. It took me only 15 minutes to install, and I didn't have to cut/splice wires.
