I'm thinking of going for front and side clear lenses.

But, some of the side repeaters seem to show all sorts of wires included - how much wiring is needed, surely this is a fairly simple (even for me) upgrade???

Is it not as simple as bulbs and lenses only..... :mad:

Lots on ebay, quality varies..

MHW & Inpro tend to be one of the best quality.
Halfords do them on order im sure, and the quality is fantastic on the front/side indicators I have bought from there.

I had to modify mine slightly. The tube part for the bulb to go in was too long, therefor when the bulb flashed you couldnt really see it in day light. So, I just chopped that part down a bit and its all good.
