flush front indicators?

Post by mwross1964 »

Anyone know where to get front flush indicators that fit straight on without any additional messing about.

:confused

Cheers.

Far as I know, there's only two choices:

Big oval cat's eyes, which needs a plate behind to hold the nut in, or

These, which need two small holes drilling either side of the aperture (good word, aperture).

Sorry about link, I still can't remember how to do this piccy lark.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Not at all really. They just have a large diameter shaft/plastic nut on the back-like TM says-you might need to fabricate a backing plate of some sort, more so for the fronts.

Saying that the fronts were easy to replace. I had high level cans on mine so I fitted the backs in the tail pod by drilling it. The only issue with that is a) you've got a tail pod with holes in it should you ever want to change back :( b) you need to make sure the rear of the indicators don't foul on the subframe when fitted. The indicator housings are quite long and the wires need room to exit without catching. The other option for the back is integrated indicators in the brake light housing should you not want the mahoosive fecking things Honda fit 8O

Mine worked fine. Had no trouble at MOT time either...However, mini LED/micro LED's are much brighter and more visible to other drivers :think:

The choice is yours :thumbup:
