Side Blinker Customization Add-On ??

[Onwrdigo]

Over in Europe, the third generation has side blinker repeaters in the side mirror housings. But over here in America, nothing. Even the 2nd Generation American Yaris's had a little white roundish blinker mounted in the front quarter panel.

Has anyone added anything like this to their third generation? Also, my neighbor across the street (big gear head, always working on his friends cars) looked at mine and thought about:

Wiring the "front side marker light" to be a "repeater" with the blinker switch whether or not your regular light switch is on or off....If you have your lights on, it would then just start to blink on and off when you use your turn signal. When lights are off, it would just simply light up blinking with the other blinkers. He says it looks like a pretty simple procedure by either splicing into the front parking/turn signal lamp wires to get it to repeat with the blinker or adding some kind of simple gizmo (I forgot what he said) to make it work. He was impressed with how everything is right there easily accessible to do it....he saw something on a Tundra Forum where a guy did it to his truck.

I am just kinda worried about it messing with something else in the electronics, but he feels that would not be an issue and he could do it where it looks "factory done" and my Toyota Service department would not even notice.

I would like to have it because it "is" a great safety feature when you are on a multi-lane interstate and changing lanes with other cars around you who cannot see your front or back blinkers on.

Thoughts??

Thanks,
