toro optional side marker lights

My 70 Toronado is lacking the side marker lights on both front fenders. Somewhere in the past before I bought these fenders, somebody had cut an extra hole in fron of the stock side marker lights. I think that the units I am looking for may be turn lights that light the direction you are going in the turn as well or in addition to the normal blinking light.

They are cornering lights. They come on at night (headlights/ parking lights on) when turning to illuminate the area you are turning into. Because they do not blink, the option uses a special turn signal switch in the steering column. You might want to check to see if the car has the correct switch, or if you can find one, unless you just want the lights to fill the holes and do not care if they work.

I probably have the units if you need them but yes, they are activated by a different turn switch which I probably don't have.

Here are photos of just the marker light holes. Cornering lamps are much longer. I have the standard marker units.

v8al, The holy grail of lights for my Toro. Are they for sale? I do need both sides. I can't tell if it is one long fixture or 2 back-to-back. But would like to buy them if they are available, both sides. If they are not for sale, thank you for the post. At least I will have a pic to search with. Thank you!

@sdcarguy Not my car... Someone else was selling out here in LA on Craigslist. Listing has since been removed from CL. If it comes back I'll let you know.

Two 1970 Tornado GT's - $4,850 (Arcadia, CA) - NOT MINE

And the green one ($1,850) without the cornering lamps
