Additional Light in DEPO Indicators

Post by Kevster74 »

I have a pair of clear Depo front indicators i am fitting this weekend. It has an additional bulb and holder almost like another side light. I have changed the wedge based lamp from an orange to a clear bulb and was thinking of wiring into the side lights so they come on when the lights are on. Has anyone else done this on here? just wondered if there would be any issues?

Thanks

No issues, I did this... and to be honest I thought it looked pants.

Did worry it might look duff. May try it and can always disconnect it. Would it get through an MOT with additional ones do you think?
