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!

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

just wondering what the best method of doing this swap is? i will get myself some clear repeators from ford, but i wouldnt have a clue what the best way to take em off would be without hacking up my guard!

Should be able to pull them off with your hands. Not hard to change at all.

StevenAu2 · 26-06-2006, 06:14 PM

Yep thats the 1,grab them and reef them out

**Mechan1k** · 26-06-2006, 06:17 PM

But if you REEEEEAAAALLLLLLY like ... a crowbar helps as well

Just kidding people ... but it would be fun trying it (not on your own car though)

chief · 27-06-2006, 12:17 AM

Grab indicator and pull towards the rear and then pull out. Should just click out. Change glbe and push back in.

ClassicAU · 27-06-2006, 12:17 PM

thanks for the advice guys, i picked up a set of clear lenses and amber globes from City Ford in melb for $39 all up. i will give it a go next time i get a chance.

StAndArdAU · 27-06-2006, 01:45 PM

my car came with orange globes in the side indicators already?!!? check before you buy some. might not need to.

janek · 27-06-2006, 01:50 PM

I've got a set for sale for $35 including postage for those that can't get to a Ford dealer. PM me if you want them.

ronwest · 28-06-2006, 02:16 AM

damn!

I picked up a pair from Ford earlier today - $45

At least the new ones don't absorb moisture, lol.

JC · 28-06-2006, 05:18 PM

OT: Ronwest - how's your lowered suspension going? Happy with it?

Very happy, thanks mate.

It's spot on for me. Handles much better and doesn't wallow like a boat. Also looks much better sitting a bit lower.

Have you ever seen the front coils on an AU F/Ghia? Honestly, they are about 300mm longer than the XR's I got from you.

I was sceptical when the shockie guy told me it would handle *and* ride better with better quality shockies, but he was right, it does.

As a by the by, at the time you sold me the coils I didn't realise how good a deal it was.

Thanks again.
