I would think you can just wire them in to side light circuit

I would love some myself but they fetch to cash for me at the mo

i was a bit lucky getting mine, saw a rear pair on an advert in the states on ebay advertising a rear bumper, asked the guy if he wanted to sell the lights, fixed a price, and when they turned up the fronts were there aswell! result!

Fair play

I keep a eye on the yank ebay, but they soon get bid past what i'm willing to pay

Everyman and his dog seem to be after them at the mo

Nick,

rear ones are easy, just splice into the existing rear light wires, front ones you have a choice

1. splice into front lights as per rear - but then you have no indicators

2. splice into front indicators - but then you have no cruise lights

3. splice into both and fit a relay switch inside the car so you can have both.

I think the MOT tester will may pick up any non-legal light arrangement, whatever the rules are.

When I had them on my last Stag I wired the front ones between the supply for the indicators and the supply for the sidelights. No earth. With lights off they worked as indicators. With lights on they flashed in oppostion to the front indicators. The MOT man raised his eyebrows, but passed them all the same.

i think i will make them indiators on front and side lites on rear, and point at an interesting piece of fauna when it comes to light testing at mot

I had an Alfa that did something similar to this of its own accord!
