NevDyson Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 After putting the side repeaters in the light bowls, I deceided I wanted to dispense with the forward facing indicators as they were. My solution here & here & here Not everyones taste I am sure, but thought some others may be interested. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Very neat - aerodynamic, lightweight, and effective - Colin Chapman would be proud of you John _________________________ myothercarsa2cv Bugsy: '82 2cv6 😬 Talloulah '08 1.6K Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Your only problems now being the MOT, an on the ball traffic officer who might do a walk around if you ever get stopped "for a chat" and, hopefully not, your insurance company if your non-standard, non-e-marked indicators get judged to be a contributing factor in an accident. I spotted some headlights in the US a number of years ago with integrated front turn signals in the lens - LHD of course, and not e-marked either - but still looked smart.

NevDyson Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Bricol, I know the MOT may be an issue, I will cross that bridge when it arises, I have left an additional connector in the loom to be able to add the classic lamps. The integrated lights / indictors, i take it you mean like these Nev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy couchman Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Like it. So Nev, was it costly, easy to do and where do you get the parts from! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevDyson Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Andy Parts are these, come up on ebay all the time. I am fortunate in that my brother runs a maina so has a GRP shop that done the installation. But it would be quite straight forward to do it yourself as the LED strips have the led's raised up from the strip. I just added some convoluted tubing over the cables and a used a econoseal connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Indicator headlights - not those, no - the ones I saw, and cannot find on the net at the moment, had the lower 1/6 -ish of the 7" round lamp as a separate orange indicator.

Bricol Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 That's the ones - but as I saw them around 5 yrs ago, the ones I saw were old fashioned with bulbs in the turn signal. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnty Lyons Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I see on e-bay they are 24 per strip and sold as pairs Did you just cut off the unwanted 12 each side? Old enough to know better Senile enough not to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
