Has anyone fitted the cabling for these orange lights. I see they are for sale here via a link. It says the bulbs are already fitted in the assembly and they can be connected to the side lights which i think will look great.
I would like to do is have them wired to the side lights but have them flash as well with the indicators. Is this possible to do?

Any help or advice would be great.

Thanks

Yes and yes you can. I have mine connected to the side lights but all you would do it 'tap' in to the appropriate wiring for the indicators rather than side lights if thats what you wanted to work ;)

I have found a few threads on here and one says if I want to connect side lights & the indicators I need a diode. Any idea?

Did you wire up or dealer as I understand any additions need the cpu remaped!

Not sure about their operation with the indicators - they defo work with the side lights though... Never heard o needing the ecu mapped to account for arch lights before...

I would connect to the side lights as a safe bet as that looks good :)

not yet still need to order them but I will get around to it. As I said I want them on as side lights but flash with the flashers. I did ask fron the supplier on here but not yet got a reply.
