caliwagon Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Volvo 440/460/480 side markers have been done here before (namely by Paul), so I can't take credit for the idea. But I did install them a little differently. When mounted normally, I felt the trailing edge came too close to the door gap. I tried changing sides and running them backwards, but the angles looked funny. They looked best upside-down, but that kinda doesn't work when they say "Volvo" on them. In the end I shaved off the letters and ran them upside-down. They're almost perfectly centered, and the angles match the trim well. I put LEDs in them too, but you can't really tell from the photos. They're wired as repeaters + indicators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
