Clear front lenses

Post by miss mk1 »

Im wondering if anybody knows where to get a set of front clear lenses from?

Do they make them for the mk1 - as i think clear would look better instead of orange

Thanks

Er yes, that'll be me, and i've sold loads upto now!!!!!

More fool the people out there who don't want to get involved with clubs like these, where i'll do them dirt cheap :)

Part numbers are T81521-03011 and T81511-03011.

Most dealers won't want to order then, as they don't immediatley show on the PC and they are back ordered to hell usually.
Basically as i've exhausted the UK and belgium stocks!

I can do just the Lenses [edit admin] if you wanna try finding the right bulbs.

2 Weeks for a sump plug!!!!! That is extremely poor of them.

Well as you're a super newbie, and doing the coolest easiest mod to it, [edit admin]

That;ll save you £2 and the hassle you'll get when you "attempt" the remove the old bulbs lol.

They are a friggin nightmare.

Oh yeah, thay are..... on a 3 year old car.

On a car that has some age to it, NO! The bulb holders rust up, causing it to grab the old bulbs tight. You then have to either remove the whole lot and do it indoors with calm music, or do as I did and get all medievil on it's ass!

Pliers and a drill! Sorted.

But my "new" F-plate was like new, so I was well chuffed :)

it all depends on the seal between the lenses and the holders. It's it's let moisture in then it's curtains.

Depends on your dealer & your car. I ordered mine from Mr T, got them in 2 days. Took at least 10mins to fit them :D

Some dealers can be arses.

The PL21 system we use can be "awkward" at the best of times.

my 'Mr T' got them in 2 days also, and the bulbs were simple to remove - just like a household lightbulb - push and twist. so don't be scared girl!

yep - only 2 screws :) go-girl
I suppose if you are very unlucky and they break, some long nose pliers should do the job - they did when i broke a light bulb at home :oops:
