Front indicator/parking lights

Postby Schultzy » Fri Sep 21, 2007 10:48 pm

Hi all i remembered a while back where someone did a write up of how to get rid of the orange colour in the parkers and change the indicator and parker around so that the indicator was the little one on the outside.....

Can anyone pount me in the right direction?

Thanks for the reply, what i mean is keeping the originals but smashing out the orange plastic so they look clear and switching them around :?

I did this to mine.

What you need to do is remove your parker/indicator light from the car. Then use a heat gun to heat up glue that holds the lens to the housing. When the glue is hot use a flat blade screwdriver to scrape out the glue. Take your time as you can crack the lens if your not careful.

When you have enough glue removed you should be able to slowly remove the lense from the housing. Then you just need to remove the orange reflector with a phillps head, and stick the lens back on, and seal it with some silicone.

Then its just a case of swapping your wiring around on the parker, and indicator globes. Get some small orange push in type globes for the now indicator globe holder, and your done.
