I have a pair of these units for the front of my S, BUT can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of the connector I need to power them up or do I just have to wander round looking at old Nissans and liberate them ?

That's what I did, wandered around the local scrappy til I found a car with a pair on. Micra k12 indicator repeaters I think I found them on.

Shopping around was hindered by having no idea what they actually looked like. I doubt I took a photo of it though and don't recall seeing them anywhere.

They are in a vulnerable position and connector corrosion can be expected. I would go for Alan's suggestion above as they are waterproof and easy to connect/disconnect if needed. Look at Car Builder Solutions website for loads of options and good quick service. I bet you will use them again!

Gratuitous of Terrano indicators on S1. Under £40 a pair, complete units new.





Get some dense black foam rubber (I used a mouse mat!) and add a spacer behind the unit so that it fits exactly in line with the bumper rubber.

They look a better fit than the original ones in my view. I was never happy with the way the originals sit over the bumper.

I've got Terrano ones on mine. Can't remember exactly, but think I pushed the wiring on with some mini spade terminals, then set it all in PU sealant and fitted a connector higher up the loom.

They do fit well after a bit of modification, and yes personally I think when fitted properly they look better than the originals.

One thing I will advise is make sure the rubber seal under the lens is the same colour both sides! I bought a few of these units, and in two of the boxes the rubber seal was black, where all the others were white. Looked odd on the car for a while until I realised!

Yes, am very happy with the looks. They look 'right' and dont chip so easily.

I had the same small issue with the lens seals! Thought it was just an odd one. Strange how you become aware something is wrong but not easy to spot waht it was. I have spares so I fitted two with the same colour seals!.

I've just put jag XJS front indicators on mine. Same reflector part as original so no need for bulb wiring etc. They are more curved across the short width than terrano's so match the bumper profile even better.
I've also tinted them slightly as was the previous s-lenses.
Will post some pics tonight.
