Smaller turn signals?

I have been looking at the Grand Prix headlights. They are short and long. I wanted to put those in place of the pop-up headlights instead, but they are too long. I think it would be pretty easy to get them in there if the turn signals were a little smaller. Is there any way to make them a little thinner? The only Idea I have is to actualy make my own, or else take the exhisting ones and cut them down, then just mold something onto the end to close it up. I believe that the two Grand Prix headlights are just and inch or so wider than the regular bird lights that pop-up. Also, there is that black space between the signal lense and the headlight door.

I don't know how it would look though. I'm going to get a photoshop of it done. But, would I be able to compact the signals any, or just leave it the way it is now?

Interesting idea. Sounds a bit peculiar looking. I'm not sure how you would go about making the lights smaller without damaging them.

Well, it's only the housing that would be changed. I would definately use a set bought at a salvage yard or something to mess with in order to do this. But I don't think it would be that hard to do. I have the lights narrowed down to either the Grand Prix, or the Cutlass Supreme lights that are thin and pretty small.
