I was thinking about changing the indicators on the E34 to clear indicators. I'm getting some greif of people as they are "not standard" and would spoil the car, i think they look good!! Any suggestions? (and if anyone agrees, where's best to buy them IF I decide to?) -------------

I bought my wife's E34 clear lights from Motorforce. Tel: 0191 455 9033 - ask for Mick or Dave
They are very helpful and got me a recon steering box for £200 + VAT exchange. The clear rears make a big difference to the look of the car. ------------- Nick |

I'd change to clear. I've done the fronts and side indicators on mine and like the result. I got them form Eurocarparts for less than £50. Before you go check the bulb fitting on the side indicator as there are possible conflicts with the new lenses there (different bayonets). And you will need a bag of patience and a flexible shaft screwdriver for the fronts - and some knuckle skin.

Unaninous decision then!! I think I'll follow my heart and just keep the originals in case I or a future buyer prefers the originals!!
Cheers!! -------------
