well, carcyle uses the ones from 95 on hiluxes, abit to small.
i reckon s13 silvia ones would fit.
mine, i spray a light myst of silver over to match my bar.... see my avatar.
and apart from that, i actually made some out of perspex ages ago, check fastmagna gallery for my wagon, pics still have the indis.

Cool thanks. Never thought of using perspex. Wouldnt you need the reflectors on it to keep it legal ?
Ill have a look at the s13 ones. Just something to do..

i had my perspex indis during my Ps which included 3 random pull overs by the party light patrol, none of em had issues.
so long as they flash orange I have been informed it's all peaches and cream.
I'm still yet to spray my side repeaters 'connected to the parkers' dunno what color....

yeah, i have used a few sets of the hilux ones, if you type in hilux ondicators or hilux blinkers on ebay u can usually find a set or two. Not always buy it now, sometimes they start em off at 99c.
as mentioned they are a little bit sort by abojut a cm but you dont notice unless you go up and stare at it.
usually it will screw straight into the plastic (being shorter) so theres no need for new holes or the like.
they come in like a misty type flat look and an altezza look i think is the main two ways ive seen them.

I bought this florescent light cover sheet and cut some peices up so they fit. I took some pictures with one side with the clear indicator and the other with the standard one.
Doesnt look to bad mo and i think it should still be reflective at night.
I was going to buy the ones you mentioned but i thought id give it a go making some up ( and to kill time.

I took the whole light out, put it on the sheet i bought and traced it then cut it. Just be warned, get a bigger piece than needed to you can see if you blade is going to cut into it without damaging it.
First time i started cutting it kind of broke into a bunch of pieces lol. I had to break of these little tabs from the light thingy because it wouldn't fit flush. I did the other one today. After i bolted it in i was like "now what" bored again lol

Good idea, but I reckon most of those would have been yellowed by now.

You'd have to use the entire housing, and modify.
Tried it, didn't work out. to different a design.
