Fog light/turn signal conversion

Has anyone ever mounted fog lights inside of the trun signals so that you will have fog lights but retain the turn signals? I thought about doing this since I have a custom ram-air setup behind the grill and I don't want to loose either.

The idea would be to get some sort of foglight that is smaller than the turnsignal housing and mount is in the center possibly behind the lense and either move the bulb for the turnsignal or keep it in the same place. The foglight would probably mount inside the interior lens for the turnsignal, then the problem of aiming them comes up.

Let me know yours thoughts if it is possible to do it or if anyone has attempted it.

Re: Fog light/turn signal conversion

Got an idea, however, I don't know if it will look good but you would have turn signals, brights, low beams, and fogs in the front:

We know Camaros have 4 headlights, make the 2 inner headlights your turn signals. Get H4 conversion headlights for all 4(just so they match). Then on the outer headlights, wire up H4's so you have brights and lows. Use colored turn signal bulbs or LED bulbs.

To put a fog light in a turn signal (or a turn signal bulb in a fog light housing) make an adaptor and epoxy (or screw, or weld) it to the rear of the housing. You may have to cut out the rear of one housing and attach it to the other. A dremel tool would be the tool to have for this job. H3 foglights would probably work well. Any other fog might be too big.

I have thought of your first idea before but to me the fog light/turn signal would be easier and simpler and I would pretty much do it as you described.
