clear side repeaters

[GaryS]

Er, they\'re not.  When Jetpilot said Alan had them I gave him a shout.

[Tomson]

Ineed to get me  a set of those.  I have purchase replacement front and rear side lights as the yanks call them.(from Pro parts in the states)  On our cars they are the orange and red reflectors at the front and rear.

Problem is, is that they are cyrstal clear lenses and you can see the hole for where the bulb should go.  On our cars they are just blanked off at the back.

I have two choices ..

Blank off the hole somehow and fit.  this is an option but in my mind not very professional.

Or somehow source the looms for the bulbs.  The wiring is no problem as I can take a feed from the sidelights.  The problem is getting the correct bulb holders to fit the units...

Anyone have any ?, Or anyone have any great ideas.

Thanks,

Tom

PS.  The bulbs are red I think it will look quite cool with a glow from the front and rear of the car... HAVE I GONE MAD

I could either

Si - I got them from Pow:R for £25 (inc postage) - so that\'s £12.50 each :p

There website doesn\'t have anything on it - you need to phone the bloke up (number listed above) and send a cheque. Service was very good and turn aound quick which is more than could be said for Farce-al-Force Royal mail who couldn\'t organise a piss up in a brewery - let alone deliver a small fekkin\' parcel. I had to drive all the way to the East London office to pick the bugger up in rush hour traffic last night - not fun

Quality is very good though - exact copy of OEM but with a clear lense. Bargain! - They don\'t come with Silvatec bulbs but don\'t look noticably orange when not on.

excellent smithers how did you know i was a tight ass economics graduate who liked to calculate the cost of every single unit
Have you had a butchers at the bulbs presumably? What sort were they as i wood feel the need for silvatecs however little orange is involved with normal bulbs but need to know which buggers i\'ll need & info hasn\'t exactly been forthcoming on which bulbs they actually use

They are exactly the same as OEM - see my early post for Halfords bulb type (501 I believe)

i bought some clear side repeaters for my FD from halfords for 22 quid, came with all the bulbs and slotted straight in...... no probs
They are listed as MX6 items.  2 minute job to fit and look fine as can be seen in the picture.  The rear clear reflectors i got from cork sport in the states, but they are not blanked like the original, as they are for american cars.  I am in the process of trying to source these from R-magic in japan, so if anyone is wanting any, let me know.  I will also be getting proper R-Magic side repeaters and front reflectors.

Cheers

[scooby_si]

I\'ll pop in when i can, might be the weekend, and will get the numbers for the side indicators.  Reflectors have to bought into the country as no one over here makes em

[monkeyboy]

I would love some of the rear clear reflectors.

Please keep me advised.

Thats really price for the winkers then for a set its £50?

[Adam]

Sorry for the delay.... but have not had chance to have a look into halfords.  Here are two links.  Both showing the indicator....but i can\'t remember which one.  So go in to halfords with a RX7 original and get them to phone the supplier  ABC Design and ask them for diemensions.  One of them does fit......for all i know hese two maybe the same.  Just check before buying.

On another note, i have sorced some clear reflectors from japan.....proper ones, not cheap ones from the states.  This are the real deal but they do cost a bit  

I am now running my own business supplying parts so if there\'s anything people are wanting let me know.  I am awaiting some more rotor style oil caps in the new year if anyone wants one.

Hi, i got some of the clear reflectors from the states, //www.procarparts.com, but as mentioned somehwere above they are supplied with a hole for a bulb. I just got an old indicator bulb holder and bulb and plugged them in place. They do not work but it does not leave a unfilled hole in the back of them.
