rite i have a 99 spec bumper and i need to fit side light in the indicator unit the stock one is just indicator at the mo if i drill a extra hole and fit led side lights in there to will you be able to still see the indictor when it goes of of will the side light bulb make it to hard to see

Use a switchback led bud. It's on as a sidelight on white when you indicate the white goes out while the orange flashes. Once finished the white light pops back on straight away. Phutumsch has done a few conversions using these.

they all seem to do day time run lights would they be to bright of a night and would the indicator work of s day when the white light was off ?

Just to rain on your parade, i do think the mot regs state that sidelights must stay lit and not go out, modern cars use drl's and these are not even in the test, it's a ll a bit of a grey area atm.

 

Using a switchback bulb is fine and imo not a problem as the bulb just changes on that corner from solid white to a flashing amber and then immediately comes back white but having an halo in your headlight sounds like something you need in your life also and this would serve as a sidelight no matter what you do in the switchback corner.

 

A switchback bulb uses a double contact bulb so you'll need to get a bulb holder to accommodate this.

if using the switchable bulb if the side lights are off will the indicator still work or does it only work then the side lights are on first ?

do i need all this kit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Power-1156-Dual-Color-Switchback-LED-KIT-Turn-Signal-DRL-Bulbs-/191716795627?hash=item2ca33624eb:g:n4AAAOSwu4BVlHpw

 

or just them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-1157-2357-7528-Switchback-LED-Bulbs-For-Blinker-Turn-Signal-White-Amber-12V-/371293563222?hash=item5672d22956:g:~w4AAOSwl8NVarvI

If it's all set up correctly, signal will work no matter if sidelight is on or not.

 

Signal is king so when this is live it should turn off the white completely, ie amber off amber off, some cheap bulbs go amber white amber white, you don't want this !!

 

And also some sellers don't even know what they have !!

i see from the 2 links above witch one is the best one to go for

I have one of these bulbs somewhere and iirc they were fine, let me dig out tomorrow and see if it switches correctly and again iirc it did.

thats would be great so i would just need a bulb holder then

Or get 5mm leds and drill 5 holes and srick them in

 

Not a bad idea to just put leds in as Rolandas as done.

 

I cannot find my old bulbs and am thinking now I used a switchback module with them inline so it doesn't really matter which bulbs you buy.

 

You get a pair of modules with the tube switchbacks, so just buy the cheapest, modules will definitely switch it how it should be

 

At lot of price difference from the ones I linked earlier and the ones below which will be the brightest possible i expect, the decision must be yours.
