All red rear clusters

[Razza]

Tried to order these from BMtown only to be told they are no longer in production. The zone shop used to stock em, anyone know where I can get a set, they retail at about £200

PS I know this can be done DIY but I don't want to be pulled by the old bill for red indicators!

Do it DIY and fit the indicator bulbs in the reverse light bit. Job jobbed.

Why not do them DIY and just take the risk of getting pulled by the polis ? Your fine , if you do get fined, will be about £60, which is a fair bit cheaper than an original set of all reds...

Alternatively, just move to Caithness. No bas***d up here uses their indicators...

Because I'm a lawyer

In that case, you can well afford to buy genuine all reds. You'll just need to find some now

[Razza]

That's proving tricky

Are you the chap that left your zone card on my red 325i in Inverness about a year ago wanting to buy my Azevs?

Tesco's car park ? I remember leaving a card on a VERY tidy red 2 door, but I don't remember wanting to buy the Azev's. I'm a bit of a BBS type chap you see

Are you in Inverness then ?

[Razza]

Yep, not many E30's left here. I see a few generally driven by old codgers, seems to be a few flying about Elgin way...

Sadly the red one has died from terminal rust. The exterior is mint but the inner arches and subframe are rotten beyond economical repair. I was quoted a grand to fix it and that was as a homer!

Bought a black 2-door minter 325i in Perth last weekend, totally standard so swapping everything over, Azevs, full scorpion exhaust, and a few other morsels...needs a little bodywork but nothing serious, drives like new.

Nice to be back in an E30

You should meet up with us on the Zoneroam next April. We'll be heading to Inverness from my bit up here with about 10 E30's. Should be a laugh !!

Do it DIY and repplace your bulb with Yellow ones, works fine for me as mine are DIY

Where do you get yellow bulbs in the corect fitmet from?

Erm from the local car werhouse

[aceraf]

I tried orange bulbs, they didn't work on mine!

[aceraf]

Another way would be to mask off lines in the indicator like you get on some standard cars (i.e. not bmw) so when the indicator flashes the orange shines through the bits that you didn't spray, but unless you look at them close they'll look red. I'm thinking about trying this on the next set i do to see how it looks.

Were they actually yellow and not the orange ones that go in clear indicators?

[Rav335uk]

orange mate and never been pulled over for them either

[TomCropp]

what do you use to paint the lenses ???

[stonesie]

Ive just ordered some red tint spray, bought some all reds from Ebay which turned out to be DIY jobbies and they are way too dark, I'm going to do it myself with a lighter coat and see what it looks like.

The Police don't seam bothered, it's the gaffer at work who keeps mentioning it (we have to use hazzard lights on site)

If that dosent do the trick then i might try some high intensity orange LED bulbs, not cheap but if they work then it might pass it's mot next year.

That means buying another N/S cluster thanks to some dozey old bat in a 4x4

oh

[stonesie]

The light cluster was the only victim, bumper and bootlid were both untouched but thats why i bought all reds, i might try doing lines in them like aceraf said.

My mum's into all the arts and crafts stuff so might have a roll of thin masking tape that can be 'borrowed'

£226.08

I'm thinking about ordering a pair of yellow LED lights from Laminex. They are designed to flash orange through red film. I can't see there being much difference between red film and the clear red paint on my rear light clusters so it's a fair bet that they will work. I suppose 16.99 plus p&p is a bit pricey for a pair of LEDs but they include resistors to stop rapid flash and should last a good while. A darn sight cheaper than £226.08
