Sounds like a great idea that! The normal morrette indicators are awful.

How do Mk5 Escort XR3i & RS2000's, as well as the Cosworths get through MOTs/Legal road use then?

Seeing as their Indicators are level with their Foglights...

This may be useful -

quote:
For a vehicle first used before 1 April 1986 there is no maximum lateral distance from the side of the vehicle but the 400mm required on newer cars is a sensible distance. There is no maximum height above the ground, but the minimum height is 350mm.  The wattage must be between 15 and 36 watts, with no requirement on light intensity.  A rear direction indicator on each side of the vehicle shall not be fitted on a boot lid or other moveable part of the vehicle.  

The regulations also consider the angles of visibility at which an amber light can be seen from the side, but on a vehicle used before 1 April 1986 it is only necessary for a light to be plainly visible both to the front and rear.  In fact the dome shape of the lamps used does provide some visibility of the amber light to the side of a vehicle.

Ive mounted an LED strip through holes drilled into the bumper - fairly tidy but no idea how they will fare through an MOT yet. Some pics on the last page of my project thread (link in sig) - cant post as on phone
