adding side lights to front indicators?
« on: 29 February 2008, 20:24 »
I'm getting shot of my crystal lights, and going back OEM, but I really like the side lights in my front bumper indicators.

Anyone know how I add the side lights to my oem indicators?

cheers

You can buy front indicators with built in side lights...this is probably the best way to do it, only about £15 i think i got mine for-dead easy to fit. Not sure if they do them with the oe orange plastics though, only seen clear/crystal or smoked ones.

I like the "side lights in the indicators" look!

I'm going to buy some OEM orange lenses (if I can find some - its all crystal and smoked on ebay!) and have a play. Should be able to get a 12v, 5w bulb holder from somewhere (anyone know where??) and wire it in!

if the indicator is orange surly your sidelight bulb will glow orange and look like you indi is on all the time
