Modifications Required for IVA test:

• Side Repeator indicators added to fenders or wing mirrors – these must be wired in properly using appropriate backward current protection, sealing and heat dispersal. We use LED side lights placed within the wing mirrors to avoid the need to drill into bodywork – see the image of the white Camaro below to see one that was drilled into fender as per customer requirement

  

  

   

  

   

• Indicators at rear separated out from brake light and new high intensity LED added for amber flashing:
