Title: Indicators
Post by: PLOD11 on 15, June, 2011 - 11:35:02
These are the Nearest you will get to the original front direction indicators  ;D

You will find these cheaper at some of the landrover shows, but they look the apart and are an ideal replacement. Also used on Austin Metros and similar vehicles.

Not found any rear ones yet, but just about to fit some alternative ones to my C5, pics to follow.

Been having a play with LED indicators and lights for the rear ...

These are very bright LED lights and come in Red, Amber and Clear ...

All sealed and with rubber surround, just drill the hole and push in.

What do you think ??

Looks like a nice easy way to have brake lights. If so how are you operating them.

I did it this way.......

Impressive stuff Plod.

Was wondering what the Round Red & Amber light fittings reminded me of, and then it hit me. They are very Wallace & Gromit & wouldn't look out of place adorning their latest inventions.
