An indicators question ?

XR6-VCT-2000 · 01-06-2006, 07:50 PM

G'day all , just a quick question.. Im looking at changing the front side q/panel repeaters/indicator covers from the orange to the clear covers. As i haven't even had a look at the globes yet , i was just wonderinging if they allready have orange globes in them too ( which im doubting ), or will i have to replace the globes with orange globes too , cheers . ????

You will need to replace the globes.

galaxy xr8 · 01-06-2006, 08:02 PM

Yes you need the orange globes as well but they are cheap.

XR6-VCT-2000 · 01-06-2006, 08:25 PM

yeah though so , cheers . Oh - before i go pulling stuff apart , i have changed the front globes before , do the side repeater/indicators use the same size globes and wattage as the front indicators , or are they smaller globes or something ?

StevenAu2 · 01-06-2006, 08:29 PM

This is the easiest mod you will ever do.If you get the indicators from ford they will also have the orange globes.Or get them from an auto shop.

XR6-VCT-2000 · 01-06-2006, 08:38 PM

I just wanted to be able to buy the parts before i pulled them apart , I'll prolly get the lenses second hand from a wreckers and was planning on buying the globes from supercheap auto / k-mart or something , unless it's cheaper to buy the whole new assemblys from ford ???

lol... As in a taxi parked for the night on the side of the road , or a ex-cab in a wreckers ? ... whichever you mean't i think i'll stick to the legal way and do it all legit ;) ...
Allthough that is a good idea , to just get the whole setup , globes and all off an old cab or something from a wreckers . cheers .

Unless your lazy and wanted to get them from ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

galaxy xr8 · 02-06-2006, 07:39 PM

I thought they were a little more than that fromFord????.

bodes-sh · 02-06-2006, 07:48 PM

i got quoted about $22 each the other day....but that is in perth

**Mechan1k** · 02-06-2006, 07:58 PM

I got mine from Ford for what Henri mentioned ... and quicker tha waiting on eBay .. I thin there's more effort involved in using eBay than going to Ford.

Comes with the orange globes as well ... straight swap over .. quick and easy.

I went to a wrecker and found scuffed clear side indicators off a damaged Fairlane and they wanted more than what Ford asked for them brand new.

No use going to a wrecker and searching for ages when you can get them brand new in wrapper from Ford.

Also front corner indicators are a larger globe than the sides.

Fairlane · 02-06-2006, 08:05 PM

I bought some three weeks ago from ELN Ford. The orange globes came seperate.

Part No AU3 13K309 A - Was $18.15 each- Lenses
AU3 13465A - Was $3.50 -Orange Side Indicator Bulbs

They had the orange globes in stock, but i had to order the Lenses in.

*I find it the easiest and one of the best mods you can do. Easy=Good.

AU2PWR · 03-06-2006, 09:36 AM

just letting people know ,when i changed my Indicators earlier this year , the globes were already orange ,

Cheers

Cost me $18 to do both sides. The salesman at Ford thought they came in pairs so supplied both sides amd charged me for one. I win.

I got 2 Tickford snorkels for the price of 1 from Ford a few years ago. So that's 2 for $23 trade!!!

Quote this part no, Twisted EL - NU 7A306 A

TwistedEL · 09-06-2006, 07:45 PM

Thanks guys

I have ordered the chrome one from the AUI's - not sure if it will fit on my AUII but if not i'll just sell it off cheap. The AUII's had a nickle one which my fairy already has.

TwistedEL · 09-06-2006, 08:45 PM

I put clear repeaters on this arvo, not 100% sure about them - the amber ones don't look too bad against monsoon blue. I'll leave them on and see if it grows on me

my car is monsoon blue and i felt the same for about 5 minutes... now i really dig the clear... i hate the amber lens in the headlight and i wanna that off so there is no more amber on my car cause the blue-white-silver theme looks really good i think

G'day. I'm new on the block to this site and also a new proud owner of an AU11 XR6 UTE. Just got those indicators from Bayfords Ford Parts in Campbelfield, Victoria for $35 pair. Cheers

I tried a few store and they didn't have them. Autobarn had a massive stock of globes and fuses, will be purchasing items from them now, that is of course after my current stock runs out! I bought a few extras while I was there! LOL!
