I am reverting to Amber indictors.

Post by Sab » Sat Oct 19, 2024 5:03 pm

I woke up a few days ago really wanting to go back to Amber indicators all round for period correctness.

Fronts and the side repeaters are here and just awaiting the rear tails lights.

I purchased the car with the clears already on it but now 18yrs later I miss the Amber look.

Once on I’ll post pics.

Let’s look at before and after pictures? I remember my first, the E36 318iSE and that came with factory clears as standard (boot spoiler too) as it was one of the later models.

Blimey, I thought you meant the E46. I remember buying new glass headlight lenses (the ones with the bobbles on the top edge) and indicators from ECP a long time ago now, they came in Bosch boxes but nearly half the price.
