Side lights and Indicators.

#1 Post by barracuda816 »

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately my front sidelight/indicators have disintegrated. I have tried all the usualy suspects for replacements (just awaiting a reply from quiller) to no avail.

So my question is does anyone have any ideas on replacements. I'm Not so worried about originality as long as they look ok and function (was also thinking of making them just as indicators and having the sidelights in the bowl. All suggestions are welcome. :thumbsup:

Kind regards, Luke

I can find you a reasonable used pair.

If you are going indicator only, I might have a new pair of single bulb lamps with a full orange lens...but I might only have the one. I'll go and look in some boxes...

Didn’t have to look too far! I bought these with the intention of using BMW 3 series ‘halo’ headlights with their integral side lights…but never did

I think I saw a spare lens for these listed on Ebay a few days ago.

There's a unit without the lens...:

These come up on ebay quite regularly. I got myself a set because I could see mine falling apart some day. Sorry can't sell you my spare set but if there are non listed look for job lots of parts.

You could also try Balby Motor Spares in Doncaster, they break classics and generally have a Toledo or Dolomite hanging around.
