Looking back through an old thread of mine about converting the side markers on the rear bumper to illuminated ones, just wondering, do all USA cars come with this as standard?

 

It's just that I might get a set posted over if they have built-in bulb holders.

mines a jap and light up

Yours is series two isn't it? Think they came with them as standard.

my jap 1990 rear markers light up too!!

Not fair! I want mine to light up too! :rant: *spits dummy out*

nope series 1

Right ok...

 

Which cars came with them and which came without? Mine's a 91 model, has no illuminated side markers. But Si's is a G plate (90) and his comes with them, mayonaise, yours has them as well...but you've also got orange bits on your inducators...yet it's a series one....

if it helps mines a jap 90 TT and has them....

mines a G reg jap import and mine light up too..

I have silvery ones that don't light up.

I took the wiring to the side repeaters off a scrapped car and used them to wire the side markers up.

Easy enough to do, just add a bulb holder and wire into the rear lights.

mayonaise, cheeky foooker

mine a 92 jap and mine light up,the wiring was already there but doesnt look original

mine is a 92 jap and don't light up, just poxy red reflectors and one is cracked. I want to either replace them or fill and paint them over. don't like the red but I like Apache's

I've seen 1990's with them, 1992's without, and 1993's with.....An optional extra perhaps

Mines a 91 TT import and they light up

Mines a 93 import and they do light up

when converting to illuminated markers do you have to drill into the boot to get the wires in there??

ive taken my fake ones out and cannot find anyway of getting the cable through help!!

If you're still useing the 'Bulb-Out' unit, adding extra wattage to the circuit might fook it up!. I added my side marker to the number plate lamps, simple and easy to do.

im using leds so no real power draw. the problem is routing cables. i want to get the cables into the boot to make a neater job but cannot find a local way in.

 

did you take to bumper off to route the cables to the number plate lights?

Luke sells them , about £30 a pair , iv,e fitted chromed orange bulbs and wired mine as repeaters :hyper: :hyper:
