1968~79 VW Type 2, supplementary turn-signal facilitation

Thread-revival! Has anybody installed a set of these? Got pics?

[topaz.]

I got some time to try out the position of the light.

I had to share some pictures as I promised before I drill and make the holes into the body.

Sorry for the delay I was out of town.

Just a bit lower than position 2 is where I installed the side blinkers.

The route just for two positive + ones left from each side column, then at the top and down through the side ones.

The ground is right there by one of the mounting screws.

The headliner was partially removed over the doors and an electricians cable puller was used.

Since I was there other lines also got through the top, for roof rack lighting and solar panel.

I had to find my way through this point by using a twist bit, I trully didnt want to take all headliner apart this time.

I got them from CSP however ebay and other ventors have them too.

Resurrecting this old but good thread, since I have new information.

People were asking for installs of these side marker lights. I recently installed these early style lights on my 1978 double cab, on the B-pillar below the belt line:

Also, folks were asking about where to obtain them. I got this from a shop in Germany.

I also obtained several of the later model ones, so that I could redistribute them AT COST here in the US. These are for sale in my ads (for as long as they last).

I expect I can tighten that up a bit.

Nigel - it looks like the side markers that you have pictures of show the early (original) style, with the darker orange and chromed base, and the later style (which I found) that are all black plastic with bright orange lenses. The later ones that I found were Hella, made in India. I bought about a dozen pairs of them from Germany, and fitted them with amber LEDs.
