As i have fitted a 99 spec bumper i have got rid of the fogs and the side lights were in the indicators so need to fit some side lights of some kind.

 

Any ideas?

 

Seen these on ebay

i know there a bit chav but if i mount them out of the way so they just proved light?

 

Do side lights have to produce a certain amount of light?

 

Mike

You not fancy doing what i have done mate and just mounting them in the corner units with the indicators??

 

Only takes 10 mins to drill a hole and file it to fit a bulb holder, then fit chrome indicator bulbs so the sidelights don't reflect off the amber - mine actually do but i quite like the look of it.

 

Or are you wanting to do aftermarket all together?

Im goign for these when my fog ducts arrive

Yes, think it will look better than trying to squeeze one into my 99 spec indicators:x:

Eeeeooooowwww.

Hi Mike, I have fitted 2 sets of the led running lights into the old fog holes, and matched the side lights and HIDS, looks quite smart! imo

does look well but i have got rid of the fogs completely as i have a fmic so need to do something wither with the indicators or something else?

Not the best pic tbh but you get the idea. Once the chrome covered indicator bulbs are fitted there won't be any amber :)

 

cheers isaac, i dont think you need to have a certain amount of light for side lights do you?

Glad you like em mate :D

 

I did'nt get any pics of how i fitted them but its very simple mate. Just drill a pilot hole in the back and then gradually work up in bit sizes. Once you've got to the biggest one you have file the rest with a rat tail file or similar. When the hole is big enough get a small file and file the slots needed so the bulb holder can push all the way in and then twist in to secure. Jobs a good un :dance:

 

As for what i fitted i assume you mean what bulb holders, i just got the ones out of my fog lights and used those. Perfek :D

 

Isaac :cool:

thanks i want that look on mines, will probably put a pic up later of the back of the light to ask where you drilled through.

When you look at it, there is only really one place big enough to do it, but feel free to post a pic and i'll show you where i put mine :)

I hope this clarifies the lighting question

 

4. A front position lamp or rear position lamp

 

a. incomplete, not in good working order or not clean, i.e. damaged or deteriorated, or not visible from a reasonable distance

 

these are reason for rejection for an mot test

 

hope this helps and after seeing this thread im tempted totry this myself!

Subscribing to this thread as I am in the same postion!
