Title: Relocating front indicators
Post by: lowgolf on 15 February 2004, 20:12: Was at a VW cruise last week and saw a lad with sidelights in his indicators on the big bumper, look sweet at nite. Then had the indicators in his main lamps. It looked good but i cant see it being anywhere near legal! Does anyone know, or know what the legal minimum size of front indicators is? Was thinking of doing it myslef.

The lad probably connected up the indicator wires to the side light bulbs in the headlamps?
