second photo, you see the city light is the small black cover, near the
outer end of the lens. It is *not*, however, set up to directly
illuminate the "corner," which is really a reflector more than
anything. Some light does work its way around there though, some people
use a brighter bulb in the city position to do signal duty. IMNSHO that
is not enough attention getting for safety, YMMV.

You can always compromise and use the city bulb location, but it's also
quite easy to mount a set of new style side repeaters in the fenders -
the combination of both would robably be satisfactory, but not a lot to
show on the front of the car with headlights on.
