Clear Indicator Lenses??

[TimmyArt]

I've been looking for some clear front indicator lenses for the chim. I understand they are ex-military Land Rover but can't track any down...
Does anyone know where you can buy them?
Also, are they hard to fit?

Thanks in advance

I bought mine off ebay, but not from that seller. I got them for a song as the seller didn't realise they were also suitable for TVR's, since then she has and has included that in her description, and they've sold for 2 or three times the price! Got mine for about £10 a pair brand new.

As for fitting, it's a doddle. They're only held in with black silicone, so I adopted an approach employed by some others on here:

1) remove the front grille to get rear access
2) pop the old lights into the bumper(a good poke with your thumb will probably do it depending on how old the silicone is - which in turn depends when they last fell off!!!)
3) unscrew the old orange lamps, fit an orange or silvertec bulb depending on your preference, and screw the clear lens on (I used good quality amber LED bulbs which also required a load resistor but should last longer than the car does)
4) clean off the surfaces to be siliconed, removing the old sealant as much as possible
5) holding them in place while the sealant sets is the tricky part - I used some stick-on coat hooks on the front centre of the new lens - like so...
6) make up some counterweights on about 6 inches of string, with a hoop on one end (an empty coke can full of water worked for me)
7) apply sealant around the outside of the lens where it needs to stick to the aperture, and position in place
8) hang the counterweights from the coat hooks, and they should hold the lens in place
9) replace grille, leave for 24 hours, remove counterweights, peel off the coat hooks, and you're done!

Best to check that the indicators work before putting the grille back in of course, but that's just common sense! :-)
