FAO JJ, quick question...
9 posts • Page 1 of 1
In your spec on your site you've said you've converted your indicators to sidelights.
1) Is this a case of just taking out the indicator bulb holder and bulb and putting the sidelight bulb holder and bulb in place of the indicator?
2)If it is, where do you put your indicators?
Doh!
Just remembered, you've got a cossie front bumper, damn! Ok...
3)Can one do this if one has no cossie bumper?
Answered on a postcard...

I've done the same as JJ and its cool..
If you have normal bumper and want sidelight in the indicator you can do this aswell
My mate done it, he put soldering iron into the inside side of the headlight, while it is hot put the sidelight holder into the hole and twist it, so when it cools it acts like a hole and should "in theory" allow the holder to be put in and taken out at leisure..

Hello there! Right, it's easy-peasy!!
Cut the wires coming out of the indicator plug.
Then splice into the sidelight wires that feed the sidelights mounted in the headlights, and connect the cut wires from the indicator plug. Finally, put a clear bulb in the inidicator housing. Then repeat for the other side!
The cut indicator wires need to be reconnected. With a Cossie front bumper you can run indicators in the bumper, either side of the fog lights. If you have a std FRST bumper, you could put orange bulbs in the driving lights and use them as indicators.
Sorted!!
Mind you, I've ditched my Cossie front bumper, and headlights for that matter....watch this space (after I've fixed my blown engine)

Thanks JJ! Might have a go at that. Could even use my SI spots for the indicators! That would be pretty cool!
