replacing indicators...

[pitslayer]

right my galant is pre facelift, with the indicators seperate on the front. hopefully purchasing some clear indicators to get rid of the nasty orange ones, how easy are they to fit in, and what do i do, dont want to rip car apart and not know how it goes back together.
any help is appreciated
cheers

pretty easy really.....

you need to remove the grille between the lights by releasing the plastic tabs (long screwdriver - access from the top) and easing the grille back after each one (i think there are 6??)... the head light is held in with 4 10mm bolts, 2 on top, 1 to the front wing and 1 that was covered up by the grille...

pull the whole light assembly forward a bit, remove bulb holder from indicator by twisting it - there is enough free play in the other light wires to not bother disconecting them

the indicator lens is held into the light unit by a small x-head screw on the top

....you will need new orange indicator bulbs as well if these dont come with the lenses

Actually, if you have smaller hands then there's no need to remove the grille and headlights. Just undo the screw and twiddle the indicator unit out, and reverse the process for the new one.

I use Philips Silvervision silvered yellow bulbs. They avoid the worst of the "fried egg" effect of clear indicators, as they're noticeably less yellow when off. When on, they give a more yellow (less orange) light than most bulbs (and don't do that almost-white that some hyundais seem to). I have them front and back, with smoked side repeaters for a total de-orange.
