Sounds a lot of trouble for not alot of gain but maybe it could look nice if done properly !!

Easiest way would be LEDs but like you say, legally I dont know where you would stand on them?

Dont bother, thats my idea, sorry  

[TheBoy]

any ideas any one?

Case of mounting them, and getting wiring through A post into door, into mirror.

Not much else to say really  :-/

My only observation would be that all of the cars I have seen with these, as a production feature as well as retro fit, have retained the "traditional" repeaters too ...... maybe just mirror indicators don't conform to Construction and Use Regs

[TheBoy]

Personally I don't like them, and can't see the urge to go through all the hassle  :-/

But thats what makes us all unique

I think you are putting yourself through a load of hassle fitting, but hope it works out. As for the legal situation, it would be lighting regs.
The flank indicators or (side repeaters) must show:-

Between rearward angles of 5° outboard and 60° outboard or, in the case of a motor vehicle having a maximum speed not exceeding 25 mph where it is impracticable to comply with the 5° angle, this may be replaced by 10°.
15° above and below the horizontal

Easy enough to comply then, the wiring is down to you.  
If you manage it, I would love to see the pics on here.

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

If LED based then they would be fine
