Clear rear indicator lenses

[Daryl]

I thought id have a stab at changing my rear indicator clusters yesterday,which was not alot of fun,but well worth it. The problem I had was that my car has aftermarket parking sensors,so i couldnt fully remove the rear bumper. I ended up taking out all the fixings for it,and having it pretty much resting on a few areas so I could get to the screws for the clusters. Imagine my mood when I discovered that the bulbs were the wrong ones. I ended up replacing both clusters,but used the original bulbs,as i figured that i can change them when they arrive,and i didnt want to be removing the rear bumper again. Amazed at the difference its made to the back of the car though,much better,will look brilliant when the new bulbs rock up.

Sorry,no pics yet,but will post up when the new bulbs are fitted.

Clearly a man of taste

The ones I have are the Depo ones,and are completely clear,suppose you may call them crystal like,and look great. Will get pictures up soon.

Same ones I have on my car

 

You need wedge fit bulbs. I bought bulbs where the actual bulb part wouldn't go into the cluster. Then I bought the wrong bulb fitment. Third time lucky I got the right ones

 

You can change the bulbs with the bumper on if you have skinny hands. I've done mine twice and not had any issues but I have the arms of a 6 year old.

Thats what im planning on doing,though still a pain that you have to take the rear brake lights out,but never mind. I have girly hands.

You know it makes sense.....

nice, they add a nice subtle touch to the look

Its from a distance that you can really tell the difference,tidies up the rear nicely.

Looking good, any chance of a more zoomed out/wider angle view?

Please excuse the dirty car and the wrong coloured bulbs. New bulbs on the way

[glrnet]

Much better mate

[Oz Striker]

Very Nice

 

Quick question does anyone know if pre & post facelift cars have the same indicators? Saw some on fleabay but fitment stated as 2003-2005??

[FUG]

what fog light bulb you guys using?

[Cal]

Holy thread bump!

 

As these are totally clear I really want chrome fog and reverse bulbs so they look spot on!

 

Fog;

Will these fit?? Anyone found them elsewhere cheaper/in the UK?

[Daryl]

I have a red filament bulb, i think. Cycled into work the past few days, but will check tomorrow

Was thinking of buying a set of clear reflectors in the future. Are the ones shown on this thread bought from JDM in the States?

No idea sorry where people get them. Think they are made by "Depo" if that helps.

 

You can however clear out the original rear red fog light lense to achieve this look cheaper. Guide here: http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=22312

They look great, so different, a nice job for a grim winters day

[Richie94gts]

Just ordered some depo lights from ebay, so need the same bulbs.

 

Were those bulbs correct and are these the ones I need for front and rear indicators?

These were the ones I got. Same make but cheaper and free p&p

Thanks,they look good, will go for them. After reading the earlier post I was looking for clear reversing lights but just realised they're clear anyway!
