My 33 is a 2011 SB100 special construction car that was originally built/titled in California. ( I didn't build it, it was back on East coast when I bought it ) It has the factory headlights with signals built in and stock tail lights and passed California inspection.

Hey Tom, what cowl setup are you going with? Are the signals going on the cowl like in front of the doors? I'm confused but suffice to say it would be up to whomever does your brake and lamp check. Dmv, CHP,and BAR never looked at any lights on mine last spring.. Seeya and give my best to your wife.

Hi tom, the turn signals will be in stock cowl lights in stock place, in front of doors.
