Trouble indicators

Gents
Beware there are "replacement" new improved front indicator units currently being offered which are c--p!!.They have the connectors in the wrong position for the wiring coming into them and if you dont realise the headlight pod will do a good job of jamming the whole lot and taking away your headlights and indicators.Have spent the best part of a day trying to come up with a way of not throwing the things away and getting the metal robin reliant versions.I should have realised when i read the lens cover "made in romania"

Are these the ones that were advertised on Ebay a while back? If so it may be my fault you went for them, sorry! I just thought they looked near-identical...

I just bought a pair of indicator/side lights from a Reliant specialist called Reliant Parts World for my 350.
I haven't fitted them yet but, they look identical.

Good service they arrived next day. £105.87 inc vat and P&P(ouch)!

I could have bought an old reliant for less!

Tell me about it. But what can you do? The phone number for them came from a thread off here!

My Geriatric neighbour has one. If I have to swap a cracked indicator he'll never notice.

Chaps they were supplied by a reputable supplier who shall remain nameless..........I have ended up cutting the grp housing, cutting off the vertical connectors and resoldering at the correct angle.It is just a lot of senseless work that could have been avoided if the things fitted correctly in the first place.

Dont forget Romania is the home of the Dacia (and the land of the ???). Dacias(Daciae?) are Renault 12's in disguise, so perhaps the light units have been subtly altered to protect the innocent!

I bought new ones for my 350i from a guy from the renault owners club...... think it was about €50 for both sides (glasses and rear fitting plate) new in the original box, my brother bought the same later on but i think the guy has now run out of stock exept for a lot of glasses for one side, i think it's the left side.
