indicator bulbs

[loopylees69]

im thinking of turning my indicators into my sidelights,

but would the normal buld be ok?

as im just going to change the wires over an put side repeaters into the bumper

Indicators are a 21 watt bulb, which is too bright for a side light really. You would be better off with a 5 or 10 watt bulb.

Now that would be awesome. Like a lot of American cars have, the front turn signals are used as running lights but blink when the turn signal is switched on. Must be a relay you can put in for that.

Doesn't need to be that complicated, a simple 380 twin filament bulb would do. Good luck getting it through the MOT though

ye I was going to mention, MOT law at the moment states that you have to have warm white sidelights to the front. I say warm white because my xenon look blue tinted sidelights failed on wrong colour.

and going to get led side repeaters for the bumper
