Anyone ever out those LED strips in a headlight?

[Jack3559]

Can you not just tuck a little orange bulb into the headlight?

Indicators on your wing mirrors maybe?

They'd be classed as the side repeaters though, wing mirror indicators are fine if you decide to delete the standard wing located indicators but will not suffice for the front bumpers ones as well. Id say modified headlights is definitely the way to go with this.

I missed the point  :embarassed: thought he only needed side repeaters
Its definitly not possible to fab up a small section in the light for the bulb?

If not i can't really see any other options to LED strips ?

[Jack3559]

Actually... Considering the lens isn't clear a strip may not look too bad.

I don't think it'd be too difficult to drill a hole and dremel some slots in one of the headlight chambers and insert an indicator bulb holder.

Cheers guys. Ahead of you with the bulb holders, I did it on my old headlights but they weren't bright plus an MOT fail because the bulb or reflector wasn't clear enough. So was thinking LEDs.

As Jack said it's not too clear so think I could get away with some very bright,decent LED strip and if it looks gash just tint it to blend in.

Cheers for the views though, reckon it would be visible if I put it along the bottom and round the side of the reflector, behind the glass?

Thanks.

If you were to uprate the lighting loom to start with then stick some decent quality chrome look / orange flashing bulbs in then surely they'd be bright enough for indicators?

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.

My brothers my mot tester

However if i get pulled more than once i will add something discrete in the wing mirrors that you cant see unless it's flashing.


Luvin your front bumper now Bellend.Good work!
