Apparently there appears to be a National shortage. Peninsula have a waiting list!

Anyone know where I can get a pair for the front of the Cerb?

This is not a joke, mine are whiskey tumblers, £4 for six. Imagine the glass bottom being seen, the reflector inside and its done. Mastic holding in place as normal.Very easy to do and in my opinion, much better than the white plastic looking jobbies, as they match the glass headlights.

It aint no joke, i could pop outside and take a picture, take a look on my profile for a long distance shot.Three years ago it must be,I was sat in the garden, with a G&T and looked down at the empty glass and there they were, my clear indicators. I have clear LEDs arranged in a circle to complete the "totaly clear indicators".

Any Army surplus outlet should have them.

They are standard issue front sidelights on numerous military vehicles from armoured personnel carriers to Land Rover trailers.

Got them, but they've gone up a bit. £15.25 +vat plus £6 +vat for postage.

Still better than TVR!

Might even have a go at fitting them myself.

Only the indicators are whiskey tumblers, the others are the normal Hella 90mm jobs, as Tuscan etc.

Phone Leavesley, near Burton-on-Trent, ask for Stuart in spares and tell him its a side light on a military landrover. Tell him the lucas number on your current orange indicator - its something like FV401042A. He'll know exactly which one. When I got mine they wre £8 each (not VAT bollox). I guess he would charge for P&P. I picked mine up as i'm nearly local.
Did crash the company car on the way home so not a great afternoon.

Typical! Just as I have finally reached a decision, having given the matter months and months of careful consideration, that clear front/side indicator lenses would look better than the orange ones...

Grrrrrrrr!
