me and my mk3

[Golf-Sam]

Was hoping someone could tell me why there's two bulbs in the indicator (oem fit and the one attached to the white and black wires)
and why there's a little hole?

I'll install them this weekend.

I think that brings me up to date with mods so far repainting my wheels white very soon also
and have some other bits and pieces on the way from various countries thanks to eBay

looks really clean mate.. im guessing that the extra bulb is to make it easier to spot you blinking from an angle .. because the main light is shielded .. to make the cluster look pretty .. just guessing ..

Thanks Golf-Sam. Yeah I was thinking maybe for better vision of blinker / backup type thing if main indicator bulb blows. I guess I'll try to wire it in somehow and get both bulbs going when I put them in.

Has anyone got any thoughts about the little hole? I assume it's supposed to act as a ventalation so no fog builds in the indicator or something? But somehow I think it will cause more harm then good and am contemplating filling it with silicone, opinions?

After some research I have discovered the little orange bulb in the indicator is known as a sidelight. I think the U.S. spec models have them. It's similar to a day light or just general running light that both stay lit when not indicating. Not sure if I'll try wire it in somehow or not.

My new wheels!

They have a few gutter marks and scratches but I like them.

Couldn't handle all that chrome on the front so did a little diy smoking
