Re: indicators

I think from Classic auto bulbs of Malvern. Be careful to get the right length of the original festoon. I think they know what they are doing! Ask them if in doubt.

I bought a square of Red Acrylic (74x74x3) from Acrylic Ltd in Plymouth (eBay)for a couple of pounds. You have to cut it into a D , but it does for now!
A dark red is probably best

Some of the replacement lenses do not fit well & plastic ones can need fettling. Fitting them into the housing’s spring clips can be a “challenge “
