For the pair.
The box is really funny, obviously written by someone who doesn't write good English. It says something along the lines of:
"These replace your standard orange indicators and make your car look very impressive indeed!"
Um, ok...

well if you were taiwanese i bet everyone would think your car was the bomb with clears on
....... ello overmind got a new motor (already)?
PS did the old one go straight to the scrappy, because there's valuable salvage to be had there if you're willing to take bits off or sell at discount for spares/repair!
PS/EDIT - venom's interior goodies..... i'd be all over the light-up sills (silly bling, but still *different* bling, which is the best bling of all)... were they not a very considerable fraction of the cars value
and......... just what use are "glow in the dark" dials supposed to be? essential add-on for anyone whose dash lights have failed or regularly drives by moonlight and no headlamps, but otherwise just a bit pointless (and luminous-green-paint ugly)??
ahem, er, dont let that stop you tucking into venom's other tasty goodies of course *ahem* /avoidinganasskicking

yeh clear front indicators were my 1st mod, they r Hella 1s & i managed to get them for £17 (from local modifying shop (neva thought they wood stock them))
Changing the indicators always makes a big diff, tho sum ppl dont notice it?!?! Ive got green side repeaters but they are s**t, full of water.

I got my suspension from Venom, so I ordered the whole lot in one go.
Took about 18 months for me to get clear indicators. Waited till i could get rear lights too.

I hope that that problem doesn't affect the smoked repeators from GSF. They are my last hope, RE: GSF products. I'm gonna wait and see what tricks Martyn@VAGparts has up his sleeve regarding clear indicators.
Thanks.

I couldn't find the silvertech bulbs. Bit gutted that my local halfrauds doesn't seem to sell any decent stuff.

i'd be interested if you tell me how much they sell for (including bulbs?), and if the shop will give you a weight estimate (or you have the inclination to pop one off and stick it on the kitchen/post office scales!)... though i doubt a lightweight pair of parts such as that will be mega money to post anyway! might include a little extra for a pint on me - two, if they have clear/white/smoked or *decent* blue repeaters!
Will still be phoning GSF central to see what the score is, monday...
Where did you get the in-pro's, OM? Venom? How much?
