TVR Clear Indicator Lenses?
Discussion
Sorry found loads of info using search but here some highlights:
"try crook brothers from preston www.crookbrothers.co.uk they sell parts for military vehicles
The front indicator lenses clear come from a landrover 101 if you tell him its for a tvr then he'll know which ones yo mean, you should get them quite cheap - I got mine for about £15 if I remember (it might have been each - it was a while ago now)."
"
I bought the fron lenses from a company called Marcus Glenn
www.marcusglenn.com/
It worked out at about 40 for the pair inc. VAT and postage. They are brand new, you can find 2nd hand ones cheaper but new ones are hard to come by. They are off landrovers and NATO spec vehicles.
Side indicator came off ebay, I went for slightly smoked ones to match the silver, but you can get just about any colour you want. Chav it up!

I also got some new bulbs as the existing are clear, you can get orange bulbs from Halfrauds for a couple of quid. I opted for some Philips silver vision to avoid fried egg look and you get a nice blue shimmer behind the lense.

The last thing you need is mastic, a couple of quid from Homebaseor B&Q etc. I used the 24hr setting stuff hence the string.
Fitting is pretty easy, I found that by just taking the front plate off access was easy enough. May be a bit harder on a Cerb, but I've had a look and doesn't look all that.
1. Simple gentley push the old front lenses into the car to break the mastic.
2. Unclip the block connectors about 20cm up the wire from the back of the lense and remove whole unit including the screw on bulb holder.
3. You'll see from the old lenses how they were held in place. Clean the area inside the front bumper that the mastic will bond too with some white spirit or similar.
4. Put new lenses in place without the screw on bulb holder, these will need securing in place. I used string and some sticky back picture hooks, in hindsight a bit of hot melt glue or superglue would have worked just as well.
5. With the lenses in place mastic them in as per the orginals, you have to make sure its upright and well pushed in and also doesn't foul the threads for the bulb holder.
6. Wait for it to dry, I left it for a day and a half.
7. Put new bulbs in holders, screw on to lenses, re connect block connectors
8. Put hazzards on to test and replace front plate.
Side indicators are just clipped in and pull out. Take care not to mark paint. These are a straight forward replace.

Yeah, I've done a lot of work on this.
The front indicators are from a military spec Land Rover. The part number you need is FV817224 for clear ones (the orange ones are FV740734). If you Google the part number you should find plenty of companies that can supply them. I got a quote of £31 inc VAT and delivery for a pair just the other day. I also found a link to the actual MOD document which details the parts:
