Having bought a set of MOSS TSI I've now realised the issue with no sidelights, ( please excuse but new to MX5s and bought without studying !).
I know I could swap back at MOT but not really a satisfactory solution. I'm no wizz with electronics but looking at the indicator bulbs I believe they're a 1157 size. Trawling the web I found these.
www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/bay15d-1157-white-and-amber-tail-sidelight-and-indicator-combined-led-380
Would it be possible to fit the TSI with the indicator holder as intended but use these bulbs, ( with the oem sidelight bulbs removed from the oem holders and just tied out of the way )?
I can see they are intended to be side lights that then flash Amber rather than Amber indicator lights that flash white so not sure if you could just use the wiring that's supposed to run to the side light holder and run it onto the indicator holder instead? Would this result In them running as clear sidelights until indicating at which point they would flash Amber, ( and all utilising the indicator holder within the TSI as intended )? Not sure if all the oem relays etc are suitable with LEDs but wondered if someone on here knows if this could work?
thanks in advance and apologies if it's clearly not possible..
