What do the people with morettes use for indicators don't really want the morette indicators that go in the bumper what other options do I have was thinking about using some spare side repeater wiring & wiring them up to the side repeaters then stick the little side repeater bulb in where the side lights go through the little gromet on the outer lamp on the morettes
Any ideas

so when drilling the inner lamp what sort of bulb and holder do i use there isnt much space inside of the inner lamps so it would have to be small bulb & holder
i want to do it the way jamxe explained in the link above but will i need resistors for them to flash if i use the sidelight bulb holder ? if i do how do i wire all of it up im no good with electrics
this how i want to do it from the link above

I will divulge my secret to you all.. Motorcycle bulbs I drilled a hole in the inner lamp, about 15mm in diameter, and fitted parking light holders but put 23watt amber motorcycle bulbs in. There are the same size as a 501 sidelight bulb, maybe bigger, but flash bright, don't turn the lamp orange with reflection from the bulb and passed the NCT here in Ireland.
Fine using sidelight bulbs but at night with your dim's on you wont see the indicator So motorbike bulbs are better, and no need for resistor..
Not very noticeable
