    Side light modification

    What you all think, got myself some US corner lights for my yellow mobile and i love them, didnt like the white sidelight on top of the indicator and think this is altogether tidier!! ...US lights are single bulb with double filament ( Frazer you were right !!) so it shows light orange as a drive light with a side marker and gets brighter when you indicate!!! Love them!!! couple of pics.....

    Gotta say, I very did nearly smash straight into a Land Rover that had a similar effect. I was at a roundabout, finished work, tired. Looking for a signal from the Landy, saw an orange glow from where I expected it and pulled out. The bloke was non to happy. Just be aware, people rarely see the whole picture once they have seen what they expect to see.

    Looking good!

    Funny how the US boys want the 'Euro' look and now the Brits are going for the 'US' look.

    Maybe you should have swopped with someone.

    The right way of thinking there Redbrick !!!

    Just waiting on my Volvo badges to replace the side repeaters now !! Unfortunately the US boys dont want to swap side repeaters for badges!!!

    Where exactly d'ya buy 'em, the reason I ask is cos we all know how much the quality of such items can vary? U r obviously happy with the quality of these units otherwise u wouldn'y b showin 'em off?!

    Cheers, Mark.

    Couldnt resist that Mark !! LOL

    They are genuine Volvo units and was lucky enough to be sorted out with a deal with a guy over the water with European spec ones. Like Redbrick says , its strange they cant wait to get the euro look on their cars!! Was talking to Fraz other day and we recalled the old 245 Volvos that had big square lights but in America they had quadruple lights that were so much smarter but not available here ...strange!

    Not close AT ALL

    I can help arrange a trade program for the Euro/US spec lights, we have a few people here who are more than willing to trade for the lights, and I have no problem at all helping setup these trades.

    Glad you like your lights Scotty, I will try to get you a set of Volvo side badges though to match
