Wire them into the sidelight circuit? :idea:

Not sure why you would want to and am not sure it's legal in UK....assuming you are in the UK.

Nothing illegal about having orange marker lights, but having indicators that don't flash....

It would pass the MOT, assuming the indicators flashed correctly with no interference.

Still not clear what you mean. Did his sidemarkers flash when the indicator was used and stay on constantly when not indicating?

Stupid like wearing trousers at half mast you mean?

Same mindset I think (although I'm not sure that minds are involved).
