my front indicator lenses have got somthing green growing in them and its only minor but i think its letting the look of the car down a bit!

does anyone know where to get replacement ones and how much??

thanks

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.

what does it mean by pattern?

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.

got mine from gsf, cant rem how much they were though, there genuine

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