Side Repeaters - Leon MK2

[robthebubble]

I just used my stock repeaters and added the leds off ebay from fizzmo

Good idea...will probably give it a go!

Its a pain to do but cheap will add i pic later

 

[robthebubble]

Which type did you use...the glass dome type or the 5 individual smd type? Also, any canbus issues?

 

[allbutt55]

The 5 smd ones make sure tou order the canbus ones and orange
I didnt try with a normal non canbus one i just guessed that they need to be, i have changed all indicators to led and not had an issue!

 

[robthebubble]

Those guys don't do the canbus ones as it states additional resistors are required. I think a China purchase is in order!

 

[allbutt55]

Hmm unless he sold i defo got them from him??
Any will do

Coolio....so it has the plastic base on it with the two wires as the connection. I might make an LED indicator myself using the indicator case and resoldering the SMD's in a row. I know you can buy the side indicators like this but they are not canbus....then again it may be easier just to buy a resistor for the other style of indicators...but what sort of resistor?!?!?!

How easy/difficult is it to replace the side repeaters? Got myself a set of smoked ones.

Very easy mate, a good way to do it is to use a normal bread knife in a sock (so you dont scratch paint work) in one side an they just pop out. Takes 20 secs
