Sidelights relocated into indicators

So how exactly did you do it? I cant see how you wired it so the indicators switched the sidelights off?

Took my bigbumper holders and cracked the orange plastic from inside them and removed it. Then drilled a hole in the back of them. Got a spare pair of sidelight bulb holders from the scrappy and managed to make a bracket to hold it in place. I then terminal blocked the normal sidelight wires and added the extra sidelights. This means i run them both on the normal circuit. I then replaced the normal indicator bulbs with orange ones so they still shine orange. Because the sidelight bulbs are only 5w and the indicator bulbs are 21w when the indicator shines you cant see the sidelight bulb at all as it is well drown out.

I see... So when your indicating, the indicator will flash orange, but when off it will be white? Thus, when indicating it will appear to be flashing white then orange, just the orange is much brighter? What colour are your lenses, clear, orange or smoked? I'm thinking of putting the sidelights into the spots at the moment....

just got clear lenses, you could put them in all three, because the sidelight fune is 10A and the bulbs are only 5W the circuit would handle it easily

Beetles have indicators in the headlamps, so I can't see a problem with MOT's.
