Has anyone done this? What is involved?

Do you have to take the front bar off or can you get to the indicators from the wheel arches?

Benny, I know you can access the housings from the wheel well, just remove the fender linings.

Are you making your own clear blinkers?

I got the same answer from Nikora. Thanks Nikora and Jose.

No, I sourced a set of real ones. Now all I need is a set of orange bulbs.

They're $180 from Importscene.

Very easy to install. Going to do it right now.

Sorry, my camera was out of battery but I'll do the best I can as an "after the fact" explanation as soon as it's recharged.

tutorial? hardest bit is removing the lining!

just make sure your globes (orange) are in tight, one of mine popped out and i was driving around without an indicator for a while.

Lining is easy enough to remove if you remove the wheel first.
If you're VERY dextrous in your hands you may be able to do it without removing the wheels.

There's 5 screws with clips that holds the lining.
A small deep socket will take care of the screws on the back that holds the housing.

Thanks Neil,
I just put normal orange bulbs in. You can't really see them from the outside.

The wheels make a difference as well. They were 17" and are now 18".

It is also lowered using a height controller in that picture.

Have you got any of that fluro stuff left over Greg? I'd love to get enough to make my orange ones clear as well.

They could go to a better home then.

Sorry Benny, I chucked it out as the stuff I had was very brittle.
That's Avin's car in the pic, he may have some left over.

Avin, did you do that without taking those wheels off? How did you get your hand in there?

And do you have any of the cover left over?

turn the wheels mate! and stretch them. on second though i may have taken the wheel off?
i think i have some plastic left, but it s pretty easy to get, look up any plastic supplier in the yellow pages and ask for diffuser plastic, they should have about 5 types.

if i find some i will bring it into the bar!

Just walk into your local public toilets and if they've already been vandalised, punch the light cover on the roof and voila! there's your plastic!

Haha, I actually got mine from Bunnings, get the stuff which isnt too "studded" however, will look a bit dodge

Haha, can't blame me for digging up an old thread, I was on the search for some perspex myself and stumbled upon this thread :-)

Point taken David but when you're a broken arse student like me who had to sell his SW20 to pay the rent, and cant justify forking out $180+ for import scene or vertex ones, these DIY ones suffice :-)

I might even shave them altogether and do an LED strip conversion on my mirrors now though
