I actually quite like the turning lights. Not to mention the whole thing! Good work"You could roll an E30 in a BMW showroom today and people would think:
Well, they finally got the 1 series right!"

I had cowl steering & headlights fail.
In order to maintain the headlights on the steering arms of the spindles, I made my own raised tie-rod contact point on the steering arm that relocated the tie-rod to behind the headlight housing:
Unfortunately taking the tie rod contact point out of the spindle axis on the steering arm made for an uneven Left vs Right turning ratio. The wheel turned left at slower rate then it turned right.
Also, my steering rod from the pitman arm was at the wrong angle and this car will have bad bump steer.
After a few days of thinking about, I made the decision the get the headlights off of the steering arms and start making a new steering arm that will not only have the tie rod in axis with the spindle, it'll also be high enough to correct the steering rod angle.
Once the new arm is fabbed and in place I can start making new headlight mounting off the frame that will put the lights low enough that the steering arm can go over top of the headlight on the drivers side.
