I bought some pattern ones from Euro car parts, and you can't really tell that they're pattern parts. I think they're £9.85 a piece.

I agree that they do let the car down though, when they have some sort of pondlife living in them.

GSF Probably do them as well.

Basically; they're not genuine ones. They're copied by a different company (in this case; Astrum) using cheaper raw materials, thus making them cheaper than the genuine ones.

I think Euro Car Parts do Hella ones as well.

How did your new ones hold up ? Better looking still ? or they going the same way ?

Yeah, they seem to be holding up well. I've had them since September last year. There's no green gear in there as well.

buy a new set of indicators, use a clear silicone sealant + gun and seal off the edge of the indicators. :D
