Below I think.

How are you going to angle them?

I reckon that the positioning in the first pic is the most aesthetic. If, however, you're planning on using cable ties as permanent fixings then the second option would be preferable.
As far as effectiveness goes, I doubt there'd be any difference between the two options.

Just make sure they are angled correctly in order to light up peoples front gardens.

And walls.

I'd probably make some sort of bracket that bolts to the bottom yoke and position them in there, but I would have to say out of the two places you've mentioned, I would go above indicators.

There's a guy on the Fazer forum who's done it. Might be Paulfzs. Worth searching for his post on it. (https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/board,1.0.html)

Personally I'm not sure it looks much different either way actually. Just go with what you prefer

are those LEDs
having them so close to the indicators may mean that no-one can see the indicator flashing.
I know I'm getting on a bit any my eyes are probably going, but I find with some modern car headlights, with daytime LEDs you cant see the front indicator as there is too much light from the very bright LEDs, think some manufacturers now automatically dim or switch off the LEDs when the indicator is activated (probably German manufacturers, which is a bit pointless as drivers of those cars never use indicators anyway Whistle )

Come on now! My Seat Leon does that, when I indicate, which is all the time! Which may be more dangerous now that I think of it...
