    Saw a 159 today with orange side lights (a bit like the bmws had when a light bulb blew).
    Anyway on the 159 they would be where the indicator is so the middle lense.
    Would this be a complicated job best suited for an electrician or can any Joe soap do it?

    You’d want the bulb to switch off fully when the indicator was on I’d say

    Just on that, would those not be too weak so to speak? I mean if you wanted to use them in a DRL sort of way.

    I'd go with LED's personally if you wanted a DRL effect, far brighter and would last longer.

    It's the brightness I'd be after tbh. I think it looks good too so would rather drive around with them on than the xenons constantly.
