No, not to look like some business class "I'm so much better then you" Audi driving tosser but for indicators.

Looking at stuff like this.

Because people keep shouting at me on roundabouts.  :lipsrsealed:

But I'm hoping they will go in the headlights, not be noticable but was just thinking when the headlights are on gonna be visible or not?

For the die hard legal fans, don't worry I bodged some indicators into the grill. Looks fwank but it does the job for now.

Where all my moneys went.

Your car should fail it's MOT without side repeaters unless obviously you know the tester doing it?

Just thinking the same, they are a legal requirement as I know the same question was asked in the mk2 section.

There was a thread on vwvortex where a guy put LEDs in the outer corners of his headlights to act as indicators. There should be some space there for a vertical line of LEDs. His were pretty bright when flashing but it was also America where you can get away with anything  :grin:

don't use aftermarket led's - they look very chavvy

if you want proper aftermarket DRL's then you should retrofit the Hella options available for the mk3...

this is they

they are where the fogs are... and only come on when the lights aren't on.. fully legal and hunky dory.. the only problem comes when old dudes in volvos flash you repeatedly because 'you have got your fogs on' :laugh:

I think you missed the point Guy, Bellend needs indicators as he's smoothed his front bumper, and I'm guessing as he has a vento front end conversion he's not up for mk4 style lights. The led strips would be for indicators
