Title: Xenon indicator holder help
Post by: Gmac on May 01, 2018, 09:58:29 pm
my indicator holders for the bulbs are knackered and won’t sit/lock in correctly.   Where can I source a set of these holders? I’ve tried eBay but with no joy. They are supposed to be h21w bulbs.

You can't buy these as I've repaired a few for people with other holders and also had my time wasted by others who say they want them done but never turn up  :doh:

Bugger.  So what are my options? My drivers side has been butchered and is now a slot type bulb, 501 I think, and it’s completely loose.  Need to get something sorted. :happy2:

yes I've used these for my own depos previous but have a new pair of lights now. No issues and will fit nicely into the hole once you've filed it open a little  :smiley:
