Opinons on repeater lights

[MONMIX]

I snaged a pair of repeater lights from a totaled passat today.
I am thinking about puttin' them on my Ex but I don't want to look too ricer.
Lemmie know your thoughts and opinions.

 

[jimbo74]

whats a repeater light?

 

[MONMIX]

Well look at a recent Passat

It is a small turn signal that goes on the fender behind the rear wheel about 3/4th way up.

 

[dman726749]

i dont think it will flow well with the lines of the truck

 

[MONMIX]

Spas has them on her Ex

 

[aldive]

I say go for it.

 

[Bill Kemp]

The new Mountaineers have them. You should too......

 

[IAmTodd]

I think they look awsome! Of course I already told you my opinion.

 

[davesexplorer]

you mean side markers right? Could look good if they are they clear...

 

[MONMIX]

Well they technically aren't side marker lights they are too far back.
They are after the wheel.
yeah they are clear with a silver backing.

 

[jimcom]

Go for it, I think it would look great.

After having a Jetta with those, I think it's a great idea. I also like the thought of putting something on the outside rearview mirror, similar to the way Mercedes does it.

 

[MONMIX]

Well, I did it

I am very happy with the results too.

Also notice the wiper arms, cowl and antenna bezzel painted to match the truck.

 

[aldive]

Looks very nice.

 

[jimcom]

Sweet! That looks great, I'm assuming you just spliced into the turn signals right?

 

[IAmTodd]

Looks great!! How about a write up on them? I'd love to do that, but drilling into the fender scares the living daylights out of me!

 

[MONMIX]

yeah I taped into the turn signals.
I would do a write up but I did not take any photos.
The lay out was rather involved. They are Volkswagon Passat repeater lights and they snap into place. It was very tedious work with a Dremel tool
( my God how did we accomplish any thing before those existed )


Yeah it was a real anxoius moment " Gee here I am taking a cut off wheel to a perfecly good fender "

 

[IAmTodd]

Well then, might scratch that one off the list I'd like to try and put some lights into the mirror like a Benz has. Something similar, but thats just dreaming.
