indicator lights

[diddyman]

Does anyone know where the side indicator lights on a Cerbera come from?

The cover appears to have fallen off one of mine!

Cheers!

Ford Fiesta (or Escort I think). Normally £12-£25 from Halfwits (sorry, Halfords) depending on what colour you want !

[diddyman]

Thanks Olly!

We have one of them places nearby - I shall pop in for a look see.

[olly]

Your welcome !

If you had a green car, I'd send you my old set of green ones !

[diddyman]

Oh well, I went to Halfwits and they do not stock them, and did not have a catalogue so I could not tell which one I needed!

So I better loiter in some car parks and see what car it comes off!

I have a spare pair of orange ones. But the wires are bare (had to cut them off to get the new ones attached). You can just chocolate block them to the existing wiring, though.

Thanks Carl. Mine are white ones. It is just the plastic housing that has fallen off - the little lights that sit on the oval metal plate are still there. There's a sort of black rubber strip between the plate and the light housing that I assume is glued on to the metal plate which is also missing.

Do you know what car they come off?!

Thanks Tim.

Now, where's the nearest Fiesta and where's my crowbar!

[carl_w]

Yes, they're from a Mk3 Fiesta (definitely) or a Mk 1 (possibly 2?) Mondeo. Basically the Mondeos before they went triangular lights, like the Focus.

Halfords do them, but I got the "universal oval" LED ones from Demon Tweeks, which just stick onto the bodywork with some strong sticky stuff.

Thanks Carl.

My local Halfords do not stock them, but they can get them in on order for the next day, so I'll just do that. If it's not right I can always tell 'em I don't want it.

Cheers

Halfords do them in all sorts of pretty colours: clear, amber, green, blue, smoke. I think they do the universal LED ones too.

Thanks Carl. An exciting trip to Halfords it is!

I think you need to go to Halfords with a ripspeed department to get them in store.

My local said they could order it for the next day. Or I suppose I could go to a local Ford dealer. Think there's one in T Wells.

If your close to t-wells, we bought our smoked ones from the Tonbridge branch (well, the Ripspeed part of it).....

Thanks Olly - I'll go there. Any excuse for a drive!

Jim, how close to TW are you, as I live there! Let me know if you fancy meeting up for a blast. I'm sure Olly would be up for it as well!
