Installing front side-marker lights?
Hi all,
I have seen it dozens of times over the past few years: front side markers, the lights in the turn-indicator units on the side. I am very curious how everyone has done this and if there are more ways, which way is the best or easiest?
Looks kinda nice

Conect the lamp with the parking light,or the day-running lights.
When you are looking at your indicator (binnenkant,waar de ijzeren veer de vinger van de lamp vast houd) ),you can see al round mark.That´s the position where the original lamp would be fitted by Volvo. Make a hole in it,and you can put the lamp insinde of it, finished.

Hi Bakke,
i think you cans use the one out of the center stack, which lightens the heated seats symbol !
It´s small, and should fit. Only the lampholder is not round,but that should be no problem !?!?
But you have to color the lamps. You can´t get those small lamps in color,that´s what i´ve been told at my search.

Well I used 4 bulbholders & bulb c/w wiring (being the side indicators as mounted in the frontbumber) which I frankensteined from two Volvo3XX serie cars on a scrapyard.

A 'how two' on this, preferably with pics, would be a great addition to the site.
