    you can make these your self its not too bad to do either and cheap

    1. take out your indicator/side light by there 1 screw ad unplug the lights
    2. warm the glue around the edge of the lens and the unclip the lens (this bit is a bit tricky so take your time)
    3. take out the orange plastic from inside and give the lens a good clean if needed
    4. refasten and reseal the lens back on
    5. change the original bulb with a mirrored indicator bulb and plug back in
    6. refit the lens back in
    and hey presto clear indicators for the cost of two bulbs

    So the lenses are actually separate from an orange piece of plastic? :/

    I'm gonna give it a go as well, cus I sure ain't paying nearly £70 for someone to do it for me and send them from the US lol.



  • also i might try this on the next set i do is to spray the inside with chrome paint and see what that looks like



  • before

    after.

    use chrome lamps to keep that clear look.

    result



  • I really liked the look of my universal ones. They were only £18, no gaps at all, never came unstuck or anything.

    Whats the problem with them?

    LED side light bulbs really make them white at night and look nice if you have gone over to xenon bulbs too, they are about £3.50 a pair if you shop around
