Rear side marker lights fitted

I must be bored as I have fitted some extra lighting for the winter, just an excuse really.

I am a bit concerned about the front as I don't want anyone to think I have my indicators on being orange.

......was stopped by Plods

The original series 2 (before the two pocket headlamp & revised rear rear lights) had front markers that were lit with side lights.

One night driving through Bradford (one of the dodgier parts at at early hour) was stopped by two plods....they had a good look about the car (it had N. Ireland Plates on...which may have got them thinking where the heck is this guy from / going)....they then quizzed me about the marker lamps saying they were "illegal".

After showing them it was a standard light, listed in the handbook they "let me go"...I later was told (by freinds in the force) one of them was studying for a seargeants exam the two were quizzing each other to "releive shift boredom" - saw me in the Disco 2 - saw the lights etc. etc.

From the side they do look like indicators that are "stuck" - from the front they "look cool" but with the intensity of the Xenons got swamped & cant really be seen.

I am always concerned that if something is modified, you have an accident, the Police or insurance surveyor sees something different it may just invalidate your insurance.
Might turn out to be an expensive alteration.

The cars that go to the States I beleive have these lit (maybe someone from "accross the pond" may advise).
I recall Volvos of some years ago had reflectors at this postion for Europe & lights for the states.
 BREXIT - done properly.

Yeah I've seen them over there & often thought it looked rather cool 8)

I had a new shape S40 a year or two ago (don't ask) & it did indeed have side markers front & rear 8)

But I do hear what you are saying about the front markers could be confused for indicators.
