Tube fender turn signals

I need new fenders because I have a rust spot on my OE fender, so rather than replace I figured I should just upgrade. I was wondering what those of ya'll with tube fenders did with your turn signals. Pictures would be great. I was kinda thinking that I'd just rewire the signal and drill into the side of the hood, and just make the wires long enough that I could open the hood.

The rust spot is just behind the drivers side hood latch, not the best picture. It is about the same diameter as a coke can.

In most states Side Markers are required.

I have seen pictures of side markers in the fender behind the wheel wheel (little circles) and I have also seen OEM side markers in the hood just behind the hood latches.

Many here use JK front turn signal housings mounted under the headlights. The stock TJ light assembly plugs right into them. No splicing, plug and play. They are about $12 each for the housings. I used 3/4 inch led lights for my side markers. I mounted them on my MCE fenders, but you can put those anywhere.

I really like the look of that. I have Euro Style guards on my TJ and this would be easy enough to get the guards to match.

Those will do just fine.
JK turn signals in mine too. I don't have side markers and I have passed inspection two out of two times.

Here's what I'm working on for my tube fenders for lights, three LED lights installed in the tube, just gotta get time to finish sanding and painting, installing them and wire them up. I'll be using round ones in the grille for the front.
