Would the indicators flash ok with extra lights fitted or would you need a different relay :-/.

If LED based then they would be fine

Just as long as they are not blue!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Not road legal anyway, but on the OOF it could indicate something special in your sexuality! ::) ::) :D :D ;)

no extra relay needed as the plan is to remove the orignal side ones

In which case you have to follow a lot of laws and rules.

VOSA should be able to supply the requirements you must meet

 Never mind about the door mirrors and LED'S ect, How about getting hold of some old style Trafficators off a 1940's car and grafting them on to your B posts?  they would be sure to get you noticed :y

My Viano has them fitted to the door mirrors with no other side repeaters, however it has about 4 leds fitted per side, with appropiate reflectors to angle the spread of light, so you can see them when you stand in front, at the side and slightly to the rear (they have a slight clear plastic dome on the ends to help bend the light backwards.

Big downside tho' is when you have an argument with another van's door mirror, you dont get much change outa £350 from the merc dealer for a new mirror  :o :(

Easiest thing would be to get some complete mirrors from a car that does have them, and swap them over.  May need to mod the mounting of the mirror to doo, and may need to fabricate some new mouldings.

Then you need to fabricate something to replace the side ones.

Awful lot of messing around for no gain...
