Yes the grey really suits the Ruby, whilst the indicators tell other road users that don't understand hand signals what the driver intends, it's all very well putting them in the sidelights but the modern drivers wouldn't understand them. The other solution is to fit Harley Davidson headlamps internals in the headlights, these include indicator and sidelights and are surprisingly cheap and like the Ruby don't involve drilling holes in the body.
Hi Dave, just wanted to say that I’ve got very bright flashing indicators in my 1937 Opal sidelights and they work extremely well — no problem with moderns seeing them. As far as the modern driver is concerned he sees a noticeable signal in the expected place, ie the corner of the car.
I do have LEDs though.
Earlier Sevens with no side lights are trickier.
