Ok i`m not talking about the racing.

What i`m talking about is the side repeaters on the clio as seen in this video, looks like they have been wired up to the headlights so they are on all the time when the lights are on, or possibly some different bulbs have been wired into the repeaters to light up on a switch, would this be legal?? not sure if this video is from the uk or not.

Noticed some volvo`s like the s40 have permanent lite side lights but are orange!!!

think they look quite good

opinions please

Is it an english car? Might be french etc, therefore indicators on the side are always on?

white rear plate so its foreign

And the foreign language in the comments.


But as to being legal in the uk. I wouldn't of thought so. Unless it was factory fit.

yeah but its a plain white bulb not orange, unless they have 2 bulbs in side repeaters in france, no idea???

Lights on the side have to be orange IIRC, like lorries.

whites/yellow-ish on front, red on rears obviously.

French indicators aren't always on

If you look at the video tags for that video you will notice that it says the following.

Can anyone spot the clue on where this video was taken? plus also the rear plate at 00:39 looks forgein aswell as the talking in the back ground.

On my dads car if the sidelight goes out the front indicator comes on dim and stays on untill you replace the sidelight!

My mate got done years ago for having his repeaters wired up to work permanently, so unless they've changed the laws since I'd imagine it isn't legal here.

The driver hasn't got it right at all, he's on the wrong side of the car!
