Oval from memory...

The original indicator from valeo has the oval bulbholder.
The round one, I think, is an reproduction, you can buy from the argentinian seller.

I bought them, without knowledge of these difference. Now I have to buy the round bulbholder from Argentinia for 20$ pP, plus 20$ postage, plus custom fees. Unfortunately the quality of the plastic (thinner, paler yellow) is not as good as the original. I think the indicator from TVR-parts (newly listed) would be the better choice.

Hi thanks for the replies,

This is why I asked as I ordered a pair from Brazil I think, and the seller just emailed back to say he is trying to source some oval holder.

Ordered one from TVR parts but it is out of stock, had my eye on the ebay ones but the last pair that were on there went for near to £200, hence why I ordered the others. Someone bought some from a German supplier but I got no reply when I emailed them.

Regards

Nick

If you use LED bulbs then the heat output will be minimal, and they will never need changing, so you could stuff them in and epoxy or filler any gaps. Fit and forget.
