Daryl Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 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.

TomS Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard.hezlett Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 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? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 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? Regards 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.

Richie94gts Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 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? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251270774802 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 These were the ones I got. Same make but cheaper and free p&p http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=121378502875 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie94gts Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
