What do the people with morettes use for indicators don't really want the morette indicators that go in the bumper what other options do I have was thinking about using some spare side repeater wiring & wiring them up to the side repeaters then stick the little side repeater bulb in where the side lights go through the little gromet on the outer lamp on the morettes
Any ideas

so when drilling the inner lamp what sort of bulb and holder do i use there isnt much space inside of the inner lamps so it would have to be small bulb & holder
i want to do it the way jamxe explained in the link above but will i need resistors for them to flash if i use the sidelight bulb holder ? if i do how do i wire all of it up im no good with electrics ![](/board/images/smile/sad.gif)
this how i want to do it from the link above

There are the same size as a 501 sidelight bulb, maybe bigger, but flash bright, don't turn the lamp orange with reflection from the bulb and passed the NCT here in Ireland. ![](/board/images/smile/cool.gif)
Fine using sidelight bulbs but at night with your dim's on you wont see the indicator So motorbike bulbs are better, and no need for resistor..
Not very noticeable

So what are the inner lamps for as the outer lamps have both h4 & sidelight
And has anyone just used the usual Amber side light bulb in the inner lamp from the corsa b without any problems

Ermmm :s yes it was. but he said to me they meet all the pass criteria. basically being fully visable from the front, and ones on either half of the car. (they are both on o/s ect)
