The overall large area of the indicator is pretty poorly lit, during daylight, but is perfectly bright at night.

However, when viewing the wing mirror from alongside, and slightly to the rear (i.e. When the repeater indicator is most useful, for a car in your blindspot) the lights are quite bright - there are two LEDs at the edge of the repeater and I think they are angled slightly towards the rear.

I observed this once when following another Civic out of my work carpark, as it turned right onto the main road, and the repeaters in the mirror were quite visible.
