As pictured on the fb site here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2246490843/

My two front indicator bulb holders and their connectors have corroded. Is there anyway or relacemeing these without replacing the entire cable harness or loom or something.

I can't seem to find any to buy, thanks.

Hello mate,

thanks for the actual help. Although its only sent me to a page where I have to write my reg in, and after that I only get side ones. If there are front ones on there that work well please try and find me a direct link or name, thanks again.

Steve.

doubt most of them on here have fb tbh, think there bullet type plug connections if i can recall, just strip back to clean wire and crimp new connectors on or try and find second hand indicators with the plugs and a length of wire attached and re-solder on

Okay okay I get it. FB is terrible. I assumed every single person on the planet had it. I was wrong. I am sorry.

Although, I would post pics to the forum, if there was a nice implemented picture uploading service, on this site. I can't be asked to use my filezilla to put some BMW pics on my important dedicated website servers. Or to go to another website and make an account for one of those and upload there to reference here. Please add a picture uploading function to this site :D

The pictures were not necessary anyway. Well, not for someone like you Brian.
