The indicators on my chim have been changed (by a previous owner) from orange to white - which I do think looks nice .

However one of the side repeators is loose and doesnt sit flush with the car - which doesnt look nice
It seems the only thing that is holding it in is the cable. How are these attached to the car?

If they are O.E.M then they should have spring retaining clip on the side of the indicators.If they are after market,then all they will have is double sided sticky tape.

Changed mine to clear ones on the Griffith MK2 Fiesta i think(see Profile), these still had the retaining clip but ehere still a bit loose so just used some sealant which also helps to keep the water out

I have changed mine to the white ones as well, used clear sealant. Am changing them again v.soon to the clear l.e.d. ones which look the same but flash orange without the fried egg effect!! and also don't break allowing me to seal them properly without worrying about the bulb going!!!

Hi RCA,

Where did you gel the clear LED repeaters from?

You could always get the silver bulbs, that illuminate the correct colour...

I changed mine also to 'smoked' jobbies from Halfords - held in with double sided tape - look much better than originals which pulled out too easily for my liking...

I got my L.E.D. ones from Graham Goode Racing in Leicester, £19.99. They look brilliant.
