You can buy them to go straight on. Look in Fast Ford or Performance Ford mag.

Mine are universal ones ! i just chopped the wires from the original bulb soldered them to the universal wires, bound them with insulation tape and they have sticky stuff to stick on !

Al's ure unlce they look the muts, flash orange and are legal too :grin:

Failing that you can find anyother way to join 2 pieces o wire ! soldering allways best option methinks !

Look in the carnoisseur catalogue. They make oval ones with the same screw n'lock type style as the square ones, rather than arsing around inside the wing to get em out or peeling bits of sticky off your car when u have to remove 'em. They are £20 quid and i'm sure that other companies do 'em for cheaper but this was the first one i found.

Hope this helps

remove the arch lining unclip the original ones, then unscrew the bulbs.

Then repeat in reverse mode replacing original ones, with new ones. Easy peesy.

I bought my self a set of universal ones.

Had to do a few mods so i got the old leatherman out (Coolest tool ever :grin: ) I hacked all the silly wee bits off. Got some of that dbl sided tape for the number plates and stuck it on the indicator. Then tried to fit the bulb holder :grin: :grin:

No probs with them :smile: :smile: :smile:

i did it well easy. i got a universal set from halfords for £18 and you just twist the old ones off and stick these on with the pads supplied. honestly, if i did it then it must be easy.
