did anyone put flush mount turn signals in front yet or any short stalk turn signals in the front. I am also contemplating on doing the same thing and can someone tell me how to secure the front if you did use the flush mount. Can you use a screw or something to secure it and then put the flush mounts on top of it, I know it sounds tacky but is there any other way to secure it?

I did the Cateye's with the yellow lenses all the way around. You will have to do a little drilling but it only took about 10 Minutes.

I have those cateyes on my CityX. They were from Lockhart Phillips. I paid just under $16 for a pair. I got the smoked lenses. The electrical connectors were too small so I cut them off and put some bigger ones on. No drilling was needed, thankfully.
They're plenty bright and look killer.

are those leds... the thing is I don't want to drill in the front mount, I need a cat's eye similar to yours that can fit inside the hole without doing any modifications on it... how big is the drill that you used when you did yours jad2? Nedweck can you give me which turnsignals did you use and is it leds or just regular bulbs?

Regular bulbs. I used a 25/64 drill bit. It really did not make the hole that much bigger. I can still put my OEM lights back on.
