VodkaKid,

Did you manage to get the side repeaters out. Coz I cannot get the bloody things to budge. Have got f reg S1.5

[vodkakid]

only just its a case of pulling one side out then work on the other edge, only problem was that the wires where to short to pull it out all the way

OK I know its an old thread but has anyone done this recently??

I have some lovely smoked side repeaters to fit but they appear to be designed for metal panels (i.e. 1mm thick - inconsiderate bstars)

is it just a matter of bodging with willpower, washers, sealant and some double sided sellotape (OK... the last bits a bit blue peter....)

or is there a trick that I'm missing?

(wouldn't be the first time...)

BERGS2 - I had a look at this today... didn't get very far though

Managed to get one side out after the best part of an hours careful fiddling about.

There are two clips that need to be pushed in from behind, but I'll be damned if I can find out where you can access them from inside the car!

However, I managed to get one side out... only to find that "universal" ones won't fit.. the connector that the bulb is held by is too big for the supplied repeater..

Will have another look next week...

Podie, any joy with this?

I also would like to replace the repeaters, possibly with smaked ones, but need to know if it's possible first. Have seen the smoked ones available for £10 at the same place as the smoked/red rear lights, as previously posted.

dont get all this agro, mine took me 10 seconds. The click expanded inside the bodywork so gave it a strong shove in one direction and then eased out the reverse side that hadnt been pushed forward. left the internals in place, swapped the bulbs for coloured and screwed into into the new lense, and pushed back into bodywork. odd

Where are the expanded bits inside..? I can't find them anywhere?

Not wanting to hijack this thread, but where can you buy the smoked side repeaters and the smoke spray for the front indicators??

Thanks guys

Is it the Mark IV or Mark 6/7 ones that fit??? Will these be a straight swap?

Cheers

Mk4 type are a straight swap.

I fitted the later Ford oval type, which require the hole in the body to be lengthened.
