In the past here I have seen coaches with cornering lights. In case I'm not calling it by the right term I mean a light at the front of the coach which will shine a white light to the side when the turn signal is on.

I'm looking for ideas and pictures. Thanks

Have you thought about how you are going to turn on the lights?

The easy way to do it is to replace the turn signal switch in the column. There are two types of switches available. One with, and one without the cornering light contacts. The one with the cornering lights is actually cheaper. Either will work in the GMC. They were around $25.00 from AutoZone.

Bill,

I've only seen one coach with something installed in the fiberglass. I don't
remember the shape or what was used. However, here are two places to look.

Avalanche fans like the first site; activated by turn of wheel or turn
signal.

The next site has a combination cornering/marker light strip.

Bill,
The first two photos show the location I chose for the lights and the flasher. The flasher needs to be grounded. I installed this using Emery's drawing. Never had any problem
