David P Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 My back is aching from working on the engine, so treated it to a day of sitting down jobs. Have converted the sidelights into indicators, and fitted Hella Angel Eyes equiped with HID conversions. The LED's are wired as sidelights, and make good daylights too. Now I can get my own back, by lurking intimidatingly close behind a few Audi's I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Would need to see it from a distance, looks like they stick out a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supranature Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Not sure if them indicators are legal. Are they visible from the side? (Not the repeaters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supranature Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Don't need to be visible from the side if the repeaters are there Oh right. Always thought that front indicators had to be visible from the side, hence the angled fitting of pre 96 blobs, and as far outside on the facelift There again, I'm no expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Indicators must be visible over 120 degree's as far as I know. If the front indicators stick out far enough to the side you don't need side repeaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) The Angels protrude 5mm more than the stock indicators. I could slide them back more on the brackets, but it would make alignment a wind up. Aesthetically not a great deal different from clear indicator lenses, but with the added bonus of daylights and a pair of HID's. It's legal and I like it.

David P Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Better spread, can be seen from side, and highly visible, even with headlights on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraHuman Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Is your car A TT? If so will the light not reduce airflow to the intercooler? Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I quite like the idea of having the indicators inside the headlights (I thought of doing what you've done here a while back, although never did...), but I've got to be honest and say that I'm not keen on the other lights in the bumper. They just don't look... integrated enough. It's like they look stuck on, rather than part of the car. But to each his own! If you like it, keep it, you know?

David P Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) They are the same height and width as the original indicators, just a different shape, and prefferable to the round version. The stainless grilles will soften the outline once fitted. Airflow is important to me too.

Guest Brian Mallon Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Don't like it at all, Makes it look cheap and tacky if i'm honest, same as people do to their saxo and corsa but you expect that from them. Leave it as its meant to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
