nevins Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Does anyone know the law on forward facing indicators. Is there a certain rating that must be used for the car to pass an MOT. Would it be legal to use something along the lines of this or would it not produce enough light. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sidelight-Pilot-Parking-Light-Bulb-Holder-12volt-/160519157651?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item255faff793#ht_2308wt_905 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 As long as it is visible during daytime they should be fine bud. Without actually seeing it lit up it is hard to tell. My MR2 had Supra facelift fronts on it. The main difference was that I used the sidelight part as the indicators, and the indicator part as the sidelights. This meant that my indicator bulb was no bigger than the one you have listed above. I currently have my indicators tinted very dark. Not had an issue in the 2 MOTs it has gone through since.

nevins Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Cheers for the info Scott, I'm going to be relocating the indicators on the 14a so that instead of orange blobs in the bumper, they will be moved to the sidelight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah that should be fine, as long as you still have the side markers in the wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah side markers will be on the wings. The idea is to do this to the front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the picture they are at the wing end of the lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nope, thats a photo shop, It should have 2 huge orange blobs above the lower cut outs in the bumper. Thats just the side lights on the end where im going to fit the amber led's along side them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Will look into that, im on a cost effective clean up of the car. So the lighter washer jets are going and bumper being chopped and smoothed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
