You mean like this Andres 



If you want I can check how the wiring is on mine.

exactly like that. Dont worry about the wireing, I know how it goes. I realised I had the old headlights at home so ive nicked the sidelights off that. Gonna Attempt to wire it all in this afternoon.

You will get pulled for orange ones because the indicators won't be visible behind them.

Side light will be very weak though. When indicators are selected im guessing the more powerful bulb will shine through.

No, if there is orange light trying to shine through orange light, you will end up with a very slight flicker.

My mate had orange sidelights in his bora, they didnt even interfere with the indicators but he was still pulled and told that only white lights could be at the front of a car.

hmm i'l have to check on that. If it fails then i'l somehow remove the filter on the inside and get orange indicator bulbs.

I don't think so. I run orange parking lights on my Golf III (US), A4 B5 (Euro) and Civic (US) and have yet to be pulled over for it.

Also note the fact the new BMW 5-series, Citroen C5 and C6 all have orange sidemarker lights whether they are US or Euro versions (well at least the Bimmer as Citroen is AWOlL from US shores).

But normally US cars turn off the driving lights when the indicators come on, whereas the way that Khare will be wiring his, there will always be an orange light on, indicating or not.

And yes, my mate has a ticket to prove you cant run them
