Hi All, Rich, go for the ones you like, I am sure on e of bay they are about a fiver per set, why not buy the two sets, if you are not sure. I bought the clear ones myself and you can see the colour of my Fronty on the left. ATB. Reeco

What's wrong with the standard amber ones ?

If you do change them, keep the old ones as they'll come in useful when some little scrote nicks your bling ones.

Postby Rich2.4i on Thu Oct 11, 2007 7:54 pm

well i have gone with the clear ones, two reasons for this
1) the wife said i had too , or else :hang:
2) after talking to someone that dose MOT's & they said it WOULD be a fail with the smoked ones as the orange would be the wrong colour he also said it was the main thing he fails modified cars on ( wrong colour lights )
Also said he would fail my truck as my side lights bulbs are blue even though when on they are a nice bright white light, -- so will not be taking truck to him for MOT next august :lol: :lol: :lol:

im tempted to but either clear or smoked for my dads but they are too easy to nick, some little ned has nicked our passenger side one so i tryed to take the drivers side on off and its dead easy, just twist and pull lol its like they were meant to be nicked.

My wagon has smoked repeaters...
Bought them originally for my Cav, and she went through 3 MOT's with em, and the Fronty's done one with em on too.

Guess different testers have different ideas on what's orange, eh...


Cipher, i know what you mean about them being easy to pinch, or have em fall off.. I looked into moving the things up to the wing mirrors once; decided against though in the end, but i wonder again now if it'd be possible to whip those bits off a crashed merc or something. Project perhaps ??

probalbly ebay but look for the best deal and dont pay much more than a fiver.

it should be easy enough to fit mirrors with indicators attached its just a couple more wires :).

tho saying that it might be a rght pain to find the right wires and route them to the mirrors.
