I have been thinking of doing this but not the indicator swap.
I have a prefacelift so no crystal light to worry about, and its not as if it takes ages to change them a phillips screw driver and 2 mins.

Like that, but would have had the crystal ones to match your other crystal lights.

Think he means leave the amber indicators in the bumper. Which i did have but put clear ones in cos wanted my sidelights down there. Looks class at night. Really changes the look of it.

seen those ones but don't like them as much cos think the ones i got look more original. And a bit too dear for them, over £50 with delivery. I got mine for £25 and free delivery cos in manifold box

My mate wired them all in while i was hack sawing through a manifold bolt was not fun!! Easy enough done though. Just swap wires and connectors round and bit of cutting on back of amber corners to accept a 21 watt indicator bulb.

I think it looks better - would have done this to my classic if I'd had the idea, but definitely would stick to clear lenses I reckon

Like it. Did a similar thing to mine a while back, until my harsh ride shook the bulbs loose :|
