Hi All

Does anyone know where I can get a clear set of indicators for my TD5 90
, I saw them on one of the lighting stalls at the LRE Show. They were
about 7 quid each (but they only had one) and I have lost the details of
the shop now :-(

Thanks
Phil

they're the same lenses as the front position lamp. get a couple of spare
lenses and a brace of amber bulbs (NOT offset pin ones) and bobs yer uncle.
Had on the 110, they look neat.

 
....or the flash mirrored ones - like Piglet has ;-)

Fit white lenses and buy yellow bulbs - somewhat cheaper!

Actually they are not the same as the front position lamps. The proper
clear indicator ones have a built in reflector which the position lights do
not. How much of a difference this makes I do not know - but that is the
way it is - the brighter the better I would say, for safety's sake.

The clear indicators are made by LE Perei and are, I am told, available
through most motor factors. They are also available from MG Rover garages -
it is the same unit as fitted to the late old-style Mini Cooper.

You can use the clear indicators at the rear, though Land Rover don't on the
models with clear front units.

The matching clear repeater on the wing is also fitted to many Rovers but I
can't remember whether it is LEP that makes those too - it's too cold to go
outside and look at my Defender. I'll have a look later.

Park your truck in the sun year-round in Queensland and the yellow ones will
be clear in about 5 years - it worked for me!

Sorry to contradict - but I've just got one off the shelf - no relector!

Its an LEP unit I just looked at - perhaps the reflectors have been deleted.

the ones I've seen are exactly the same. The shape of the fresnel-style
lens inside the lamp cover appears to be identical. These were the ones
called LEP. The actual lamp unit however *is* different, you do need an
indicator lamp unit and not a sidelamp one, the sidelamp kind places the
bulb further forward (it's a smaller bulb, of course) which presumably gets
the bulb filament to the focal point of the fresnel in the cover. 21W bulbs
won't fit a sidelight unit properly.

they do fade, even in this country. Takes about 25 years though!
