clear side repeaters

[Ric]

Where can I get hold of clear side repeaters? I\'m not a great fan of the OEM orange ones...

Also - I\'d like to get hold of a UK manual (\'95 Type RS) as I don\'t think there is much chance of me reading my current one

Either original paper or an electronic copy would be fine with me.

cheers,

Hi Ric,

And I presume you wanted an owners Manuel in English these are available from Mazda on 01892673319

Part No 8C71EE92A and they do have a few in stock and cost £19.43

Hope this helps.



All the best Clive

cheers - I assume from your post that pretty much any "uni-fit" side repeater should work ok then?

i was told to ask for MX6 uns at halfords as they are apparently the same :confused: I did inquire how much they\'d be but dumb ass who i got lumbered with probably had trouble finding the door to get into halfords let along the price list with clear indicators for a RX7 so i said dont worry i\'ll try again nearer the time (of cars arrival)

PS gota have silvatec bulbs n all anyone know what sort of bulbs are used in FD side indicators??

[dumb ass question mode on] Before i go into halfords & try tormenting them for the clear indicators as i\'ve still not heard anything back from them, is that part number for the lights or the manual?

went to halfords today and couldn\'t find ANY clear repeaters for the RX7. I even got the bloke to go through their computer system.

Nothing listed for either RX7 or MX6. In fact the only Mazda they had was the MX5...

You can get the orange side repeater bulbs (501A) ok.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting hold of some nice clear ones?

Anybody knows how to take the side repeater light off the car - I have tried a) tugging it away from the car  b) sliding towards the front of the car and c) sliding it towards the rear of the car.  
But it won\'t budge. Before trying with more force I need to know how it comes off.

I don\'t want to damage them so if someone can describe how it comes off I will appreciate it.

Just got my clear ones today and it was a five minute job to replace the existing orange ones.

There is a plastic spring catch to the rear of the indicator. Grab both ends, squeeze gently from the front and lever it away from the bodywork. You might need to pull firmly if any gunk has built up. That said, both mine came out easily although the nearside certainly required consderably more effort.

Once you have the unit out there is a small press clip to disconnect the lead and plug. Be carefull not to loose your wires in the wing - thankfully Mazda seem to have included plenty of slack.
Then pop your new units in...
