not dual fogs - the reflectors cover the bumper mount brackets.  no
space.

you can "easily" set the corner markers to be signals as well - just use
a relay on each one, fire the relay coil with the wire to the parking
light and the signal.  whichever one is off is grounded, it seems. 
works great!

make it run right, perfect, first!

the drivetrain will last approximately forever if well cared for.  It
will certainly outlast the body panels here in New England!  150K?  I
don't even buy cars that young :-)
