CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE TO FIND INSTALATION NOTES FOR CHANGING MY SIDE INDICATORS TO CLEAR ONES THEY DONT FIT PROPERLY

Do you mean the side repeaters or the front indicators?

 

Perhaps this might help

WING INDICATORS

BOUGHT FROM ZCENTRE

Okey-dokey - if these are the same ones I got from Smithy (cybercraft) the box had AutoArt on it. They were fiddly to fit. The bent plastic clip thing held on with the philips screw was loose. Tightening the screw until the clip was solid made it slot into place quite nicely. (tho still not as snugly as the real thing - I think the rubber seal is not quite as thick / butch as the real thing either.

 

Or is the problem to do with the three prong vs two prong bulb holder?

3 PRONG 2 PRONG ????? YES WHAT DID YA DO?

Ok - my repeaters and holders were originally three prong. The new repeaters are only two prong (180deg-ish). SO they don't fit.

 

Smithy said don't mess with the repeater - leave them as they are. But look at the old holder - you need to offer it up to the new repeater and imagine which way you twist it to get it to lock. Then it becomes obvious (!) which one of the three prongs on the holder you need to cut off / file flat.

 

The remaining two prongs are not exactly 180 apart but should be fiddleable into the repeater. With a bit of cursing.

 

This was the advice.

 

When I tried it, I managed to fiddle, force one of the old holders into the new repeaters without cutting anything. But the other one I had to cut off one of the prongs.

 

Don't ask me why. Also pray for me that neither of the bulbs ever fails!

 

Good luck - Gio
