fender signals??

[wyze]

while looking around on the posts i noticed that in some pics of your cars you have smoked turn signals installed on your fenders?

it looks sick!!, i was wondering if this was an ebay special(cut fender yourself)

or is this an dealer mod (newer 5er fender fit)

i searched around the forum, couldn't find anything

anyone??

I was curious about this as well.
In US, what year did the sidemarker lamps appear?
Neither of my cars have them but I think the '94 had the front fenders replaced. I know that nearly all non-US production models came with the side repeaters as standard equipment. Was it an option in US?

Sidemarkers were a year by year thing and were not an option in the US. Some early cars have them, and most 1994 and later cars have them as well, but in between there are some that have em and some that don't.

The smoked side blinkers are not OEM as far as I know, though Hella did make clear OEM ones. If you don't have them, I would not recommend drilling holes in your fenders for sidemarkers personally...

nope, not at all. seen a few 95s or owner added cars with them and am still torn as to whether I like em or not... the only one that I like hands down are the ones where they have been added into the trim. that is jsut sweet.

Easy to dremel a nice hole in your fender and fix these. Relatively cheap from BMA and a fun mod. No issues as long as you take your time and treat the massacred surface with hearty amouts of rust protection.

Can you shoot a few more close up shots ?

Thanks

In the U.S., the sidemarkers (which ARE the fender blinkers) were an uncommon option in '94 and standard on '95. I love mine, but am getting jealous of Dave M.'s setup.

It's a safety feature, can't hurt to have an extra blinker. The trim lights on that Touring can be eliminated with Euro trim and that's what I would do.
