Hiding Wires

I am going to be installing turn signal lights on my front bumper. Is there a good way to hide the wire coming from the lights on the front bumper brackets or am I stuck using zip ties?
 
I don't have front turn signals on my front bumper (My front turn signal lights are in the headlight buckets) but on my rear turn signals I used a couple of pieces of double sided velcro ~3/16" wide. As Tom suggested I used black cloth covered wires.

(Excuse the dust, just uncovered the car to take these pictures)

I just put the wires in one of the "slip" on coverings (they are split so you can put a wire(s) inside of them) and then use the zip ties to hold them to the bumper brackets.
 
This is what I have done for the wires to the front signals on my AA truck. Apply a bead of contact cement along the bottom edge of the bumper brackets and another bead along one side of your signal wire. Allow to set and attach. Works like a charm. You may have to do a bit of touch up every couple of years or so. Use a black wire and no one will notice it.
 
Like Terry L. I used black silicone adhesive under the front bumper brackets, use masking tape to hold the wires in place until the silicone sets up.
 
For the fog lights I will eventually install, I found some stainless conduit like the headlights and horn have, only longer and skinnier. Haven't got them installed yet, so don't know how it will turn out.

I also have some fabric wire covers like is used elsewhere on the Model A that I have run extra wires in. Looks like it belongs.
 
Original style cloth wire or an old style loom will look period. And regular spring style frame clips can be used and also look period.
