R129 N/S/F indicator

Mine was smashed by motorway detritus this morning, I'm looking at these two as options:

http://www.eurocarparts.com/indicator

Can't work out if the cheaper one is Magneti or not? Are they easy to fit?

I can't tell. They're very easy to fit. Branded parts definitely fit and look a lot better than the cheaper ones.

I'd be inclined to go with the Euro one but wait a couple of days until they have one of their "flash" 30% discount offers, usually Thursday between 7 and 9pm.

Yeah Euro car parts one is safer, thanks for the heads up re the discount- will keep alert to it. Do they unscrew from inside the wing?

[r129sl]

Euro have a discount on today until midnight. 30%. The code is "VIP30".

To remove the indicator, open the bonnet and reach inside the wing; pinch the spring clip and push the whole assembly outward. Unplug the wiring harness after removing the assembly. You will find it is obvious and easy when you have the spare.

To re-install, push the indicator into position, reach inside and pinch the spring clip and make sure it engages. Very easy but do make sure the spring clip re-engages otherwise the assembly will pop out sometime.

Super, thanks- all done.
