Spoke to an MOT tester today, he say as long as he can see an amber light from the front of the car then its fine.

Night driving, he said wont matter as you wont see it anyway from head light glare

Nick read and Daz have both got there indicators in the inner headlights on the morettes....


As far as i know, they drilled a hole like the side lights and mounted a motorbike coloured bulb. Make sure you get the correct wattage as u want them to flash at the same speed as original.

cheers northy.

inner or outer lights, can you confirm.

The flash is a bit fast atm, its one of the things i need to look into.

if i was doing it i would fit them to the inner.....

if they flash too quick the wrong bulb will be fitted.
