has anyone changed the wing markers on a bugeye before i need some advise thanks guys

 

Yes they will pop out - I got colour coded blue ones to replace them on my old Bug, my new one has the carbon ones fitted - quite an easy job to do

 

Are you on about the diamond shape ones? They should just pop out when you compress the retaining clips.

 

i managed to get them out ok my question is the new ones came with a bulb holder but there is no wiring inside the wing to fit to them they look a bit odd with no bulb inside lol also will they pass an mot like it

 

To connect you would probably have to run a line from your sidelights - and get a suitable bulb holder for your marker - not sure what colour bulb you need though, yellow or white

As for the MOT I think they were put there for another Countries market USA I think - someone would prob know on here.

I've never had the Bulb style ones.

Si.

 

where did you get the ones without a bulb

 

The body colour ones I had were from TSL - not sure if they are trading anymore, back in 2003.

The carbon ones are from scoobyworld, bout £35. I am sure I have seen plain carbon ones somewhere - the ones I have, have a pink Sti logo on the bottom edge.

I have had no MOT issues with them blanked off.

 

My bug wing markers are just frosted white and do not light up at all (see avatar pic on left). There is an indicator on the wing though that's different. Are you refering to the marker near the headlight or the indicator?

 

thats the type i want the frosted ones where did you get them from butt

 

Ahhh, they were on the car when I bought it so not sure where, sorry.

I have just had a browse on t'internet and found some here;

HTH

 

i've just fitted them ones. but i wanted the frosted type and i cant find them anywhere

 

Think they (White Frosted) were OEM on a Bugeye UK300 - maybe a breakers somewhere will have them....

 

yeah your right i think they are oem on the uk 300. i've tried a load of google searches about them cant seem to find a set anywhere i think they look better than the crystal type i've just fitted

 

yep, just been out to look at my car and they are frosted, not clear like the links I posted.

When I get home tomorrow (work away during week) I'll sift through my car's history to see if I can find a receipt. Bear with me

 

cool thanks very much butt

 

Right, just gone through my service history and the only thing that it could be is...
