how do these work

[retromadness123]

Hello guys, have been thinking about this for some time so was wondering how it was achieved, basically I seen cars with their indicators light up like I'm not sure.if its a euro.scene thing, but its like the indicators like on lol hope I make sense all help appreciated

I assume they have fitted alternative bulb holders that will take a 5/21 watt bulb so 5 watts is sidelight and normal 21 watt for indicator. Don't think orange sidelights / marker lights are legal though in UK.

Amber markers are perfectly legal as long as they are a supplement to a white or yellow side position lamp. Landrover and BMW do this, to name but a few. The easiest way to achieve it is to just fit a sidelamp bulb holder into a new hole in the lamp housing, it's how I did my golf, transporter, skoda, Passat and landrover. Ideally for the 'look' they should be ignition triggered (like my landrover)

Thanks guys, the disco looks nice with the lights I wanted to put them on my mk1 golf just wire it up to a separate switch, so I could use them when I'm at a show or meet, would it be best to relay and use a inline fuse for this

I wouldn't bother with a switch, just find a ignition switched tab on your fusebox (VW always include loads of those) and add a 1A inline fuse as close to the fusebox as possible and then run that out to the lights.
