The land rover reverse light is the same as the clear indicator lense, fit it and put in a silver/orange bulb and it works fine.

Thanks a lot,

without bothering, some did not understand my question at all, or didn´t read carefully, or i was unclear in asking.
I´m looking for LEGAL clear front indicator lenses.

The side indicator or the reversing lamp are not legal for beeing used as front indicator.
You may say, that´s bean counting, but i´m used to be stopped 2-4 times a year.
I´m not willing to spend 30-90 € for parts making trouble then.

I do know about the different Part No. of LR (already posted).

FV760732 Stop/Tail
FV760733 Turnlight Rear
FV760734 Turnlight Front
FV817224 Side Light (without reflector)
FV861059 Tail Light
FV939003 Fog Lamp
FV939004 Reversing Lamp

The FV817224 is obviously used as clear front indicator replacement from several TVR owners.
Should be marked with 5 or 6 above the circle showing E11.
The front indicators are marked with 1, ther rear indicators with 2a and brake light with S1.


CONCLUSIO: There are no LEGAL & clear aftermarket lenses for front indicator available.

Why not try the Hella Pebble LED which will give you a combined day running light and front direction front indicator light. the code is 2BE 980 691-001 and costs £89 + vat from Incar motor factors

Don't know why people keep messing around with the 1950's style light. I have just replaced mine with Hella Pebble Style LED Lamp. This is a combined DRL, front indicator, position lamp that fits in the existing hole ref 2BE980691-001.

They work a treat: the DRL dims when headlights on or particular indicator is flashing and the teckie stuff is all built into the unit, so really is plug and play

The OP lives in Germany. Their TUV makes our MOT seem like a tyre-kicking exercise

Same thing, £43 off of ebay..

Hella ones are 83mm, ebay ones are 95mm. Sure they would both fit in the hole seeing as it's all held in with sikaflex anyway hehe

Different folks, different strokes and all that but neither of these float my boat. Too modern looking on what is an old car. Either way, best of luck.
