PeeWee Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I had mine in the upper grill of a wrc bumper. Theres a legal distance they need to be apart for MOT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 i know you said you want to keep the fogs but im going to put blanking plates on mine and then put small smoked square side repeaters in the plates,you'll hardly notice them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have a lockwood grill and have the genuine Morrette indicators behind the grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 any pics jc?? peewee.. can you find out what the distance is?? im asking you as your the genius compared to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 just found this with a search. The last copy of the reg's I saw re' front indicators said:Maximum distance from edge of vehicle 400mmMinimum separation 500 mm unless width of vehicle is less than 1400 mmIt appears from previous messages that some SVA stations are interpretating edge as maximum vehicle width - in our case across rear wings not front wings.It's also interesting that the same reg's state the same position requirements for the headlights.

PeeWee Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Neil had his in the grille see here.http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a154/f1web2/11a4c614.jpgBest idea I saw were ones fitted to a laguna splitter holes.This was my plan.http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b227/kwikfix/Pshops/Lagunaindicatorsredcopy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezmanian devil Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Just a thought, but what about putting a small orange led in tje bottom of the morettes? There isnt any rules on how big/small the indicator has to be surly? That way you wont hardly notice it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Put them in your fogs mate, i know you said you wanna keep your fogs, but why!? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 heres a bit better pic http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c151/marshy61278/DSC00017.jpgfor now ive reverted back to honeycombe grille and put them behind that..but ive been enquiring on 5ive-oand apparentley the legal requirement is they have to be no less than 15" from the edge of vehicle and they have to be at least 20" apart..now as they are atm.. theyre 15" from edge of vehicle but only 15" apart tez ive been thinking about that idea..and seen these..led indicatorsdoes anyone know how hard itll be to wire thaese in? (bear in mind im good with electrics if its taking sommat apart..even then id probably blow sommat up or shock myself! )If you are using these in addition to your normal indicators there is no need for ballast resistorsIf using instead of your standard bulbs or on there own you may need resistors to correct the flash rate (flashing too fast or not at all) Resistors listed separatelyits that bit that made me wonder ive also been directed to this idea..clickand toying with that.. (which seems a better option tbh) but id lose my CAF... what are your thoughts guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRic Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 My pepper red gti had them in the behind the front grille and passed it's mot.Pointless pics as you can't see them. http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af297/ricowen/c3.jpghttp://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af297/ricowen/no3.jpg On my first silver one I mounted them under the bumper by the lower grille if that makes sense. If you look to the right of the reg plate you can just about see one. http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af297/ricowen/scort1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan99940 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I have been reading this thread as I Am in the same predicament. If you take out the inner lenses I want to know where people have been putting side lights? Sorry about hijacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take out the inner lenses I want to know where people have been putting side lights? Sorry about hijacking. if you take out the inner lense you don't loose the side light. the outer lense has the same bulbs in as you do standard lights the inner lense is for full beam, for when the dash displays the bulb light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
