front indicators

[blaineuk]

what are the front indicator units from on the 400se? has anyone fitted anything different from the originals?

Peugeot 505, wasn't it?

[blaineuk]

Thats what I thought, but the ones on eBay look to small.

Mine were got from a Peugeot old car parts dealer. Had the last two he had and I cannot find the reciept.

Got this number as a part from Peugeot but not sure its valid as the dealer reckoned it was no longer made. 630186704.

Obviously as its no longer made we could not see that it was the right part number.

Yes they are the right ones, I am thinking of changing to mk2 golf indicators, and putting the side light in the head lamp housing.

The main problem with the sidelight being in the headlamp housing,is that the pod would need to be raised for them to work. So if as often happens a pod ever fails you have no lights at all!

Hi Blaine,

I have a couple of pair of brand new units that I bought from Turkey. They are from a renault 12 but look like those in the photo. They are with Neil at TVR Carparts at the moment until I get them back.

Let me know if you want a look.

Cheers

Shaun

Ok will do Shaun, but still think I will modify the front to something newer.

Best to keep it original. You can pick up Peugeot lenses off ebay from time to time, but not very often.

Aren't the Renault 12 ones the units fitted to the 350i?

The Renault ones I bought are not used on any 350 ive seen

They are. Sounds like either someone cocked up with Shaun's pair or (as they were sourced from Turkey) maybe the Dacia Denem (late Renault 12 incarnation) used the 505 lights instead...?

The renault 12 front side/indicator lights are on the 350i, But the better ones are off a reliant rialto i think they are plastic backed instead of mirrored metal which just falls to bits as you remove em slight mod's needed to fit the plastic ones.
