If you are talking about the main front ones , I got mine from TMS...01664 481065, about £45 for both sides, orange bulbs, carriage etc....but if your talking about side repeaters on the wings...mine came from Halfwits and cost about £12ish...(2mins to fit!)
Hope this helps

Make sure you get the silver bulbs (e.g. from www.powerbulbs.com) too, to avoid that "fried egg" look.

Are these the same ones that allegedly come from some sort of military vehicle?

Does anyone have a photo of some off the car so that I can see the fittings, or at least have a good bash at describing them?

......I have a cunning plan my lord......

Although I didnt fit mine (Ewelmes did mine when I had the headlight conversion done), I know they had to remove a panel from the front of the inner wheel arch. This exposed the wiring and back of the indicators....not sure what held them in place...(knowing TVR it was a mass of sealer!)...but I do know the new ones had a big 'locking ring' that would appear to hold them in place.

Like a bike brass type collar, about an inch deep with a screw thread in it?

I think mine came from TVR Barnet. Don't know price. You could call Greg at Motion TVR on 07773373038 as he fitted mine.

PS. Love the shot in your profile. Lucky that little tea-leaf was this side of the car else you wouldn't have seen her trying to steal it.

my amber front indicator fell out when I was struggling with the oilcooler hose(another thread!)

yes remove wheel - pull off tonnes of sealer from around access panel - undo self tappers - pull off panel - hand in hole unscrew bulb holder (large brass nut thing on back of lamp...

heres the thing - mine was araldited into position - if it had a bit more on it i reckon would have been a job to get out! - I simply re araldited it back into position ... now hoping my main beam etc are within range for MOT - could be a whole world of pain as assume no adjusment??

Hope it helps DAS

They are the front sidelights from a type 101 land rover. On mine at least they were just sealed in and had to be cut out with a stanley knife...they were £12 each from Crook Bros, Hoghton, Lancs. The repeaters were £9.99 from the local Max Muppet warehouse.

They are actually standard fit front side lights on a whole host of military vehicle, including trailers.

Practically anyone in the military will be able to get hold of them for free (If you know what I mean).

If not a military vehicle specialist will have hoards of them.

P.S. Obviosly the amber ones are the actual indicators but again are standard military kit.
