Indicator replacement

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Yello,
I've just bought a set of crystal clear front indicator units for the coupe, but they seem a tad tricky to fit. Is it simply a question of getting my stranglers hands down the small hole behind the lamp unit or does it take stategic use of another tool ie: screwdriver to prise the two stage clip undone ?  Any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers Malc.........
ps.. I also picked up a stainless grille kit on Ebay for �12.90 !!!   Bargain !!  #:O)

	Assuming you've got an E36...., yes a screwdriver is what I used to spring the 2 click clips. Takes patience, but as long as you've got a clear view of the clip it's not too difficult.

	Yello, Thanks Webdunk.........I didn't think there would be a knack, just fiddley prodding around trying to get the right position to flip the clips. The indicators themselves are really cool. The orange bulb is shielded from the front so as you can't see it. The light is reflected forward off of the mirror back reflector. We'll see. Cheers Malc............. '93 325i Coupe
