Orange siide light?

That certainly looks like an LED chip

Yep, that's an LED chip. Wonder if it is in all markets

In the German vehicles, it is not just a reflector, but equipped with lighting.

It is a reflector, didn't see it blink, but now that I look at the picture, that central part is weird, I will have to check again

I do like the look of these side markers. They are remembering me to one of my earlier cars, a Volvo V40. And if they are not as ugly as those cat eyes as seen on the us version of the porsche 924.... all good. Beside the fact, that the light source could be disabled by cutting just a single wire.

Went to my dealer yesterday: It is indeed a LED chip, saw it light up, but could not check when it blinks and when not, because my blinkers didn't work!

Strange as there are side repeaters for the indicators on the front wings.

Built in obsolescence?
Since it is required in some markets, fit it as standard keep complexity down.

Obviously someone else's problem, but curious to know if it's just the indicator functions or the 4 way hazard flashers as well?

@Jean Mercier When you’re at your dealership on Weds, apply for a job. You’re there so often, you might as well get paid for all your help!
