I figure if a cop wants to pull me over for being more visible, I'll fight the ticket...
I also didn't want to drill and holes or modify anything stock in the tail/brake light since I'm pretty close to stock, I wanted to keep everything removable if I ever care to do a resto on it.
For the turn "markers" I modified some extra LED's I had, the kind that normally go into a dome or door marker light with the caps on both ends, I believe they are referred to as "festoon":
I simply heated up the metal caps until the solder was liquid enough to remove the caps, soldered on some wires, and coated the connection with liquid electrical tape:
Fed them through the existing turn signal stalks:
Didn't even have to use anything to mount them, they fit right next to the 23W incandescent mini "winker" bulbs I still am using for my turns:
One day I'll upgrade the turns and turn signal relay to LED, I truly dislike the "Hyper Blink" that so many LED turns have, I want a relay where I can control the speed, granted fast is better than slow...
Here's how it looks with the lens on, a bit of a bluish yellow as opposed to orange but hey, it's all about separation and visibility to me:
