you could try the AUII (III?) clear indicators - you need to remove your current indicator & surround, and replace it with that one - only problem is, there is a small gap left under it, as the AU one doesn't fully cover the space where the EF one was. i've got them on mine - its pretty much only me who ever sees the gap underneath anyways!

Someone did have sets made in the original style and sold them reasonably cheaply (about $65/pr IIRC) but that was a year or so ago so its probably not an option today.
I considered the AU option but decided against it as I didn't like the idea of the gap or having to superglue the entire assembly (making replacement of the globe should it blow) to the car. In the end I took the plunge and opted for NF Fairlane setup on my Fairmont. It cost an arm and a leg ($24.80 for each moulding and $24.60 for lenses adding up to $115.30 for the parts with a further $25.05 required for the paint) and requires a bit more work but gives the best results out of the available options: http://www.admirallsd.dyndns.org/~ianwe ... arkers.jpg (apologies for the crappy photo, the light conditions weren't exactly the best )
Unless you get right up close you can barely tell it's not stock, the colour match from the cheap touch-up pain I used was much better than I was expecting.

Yeah the price was pretty high
When stacked up against the AU option though (which probably would have been cheaper) it was an easy decision to make. It was cheaper then what I did next though: I've had a problem with the tail lights on the EF Wagons since my folks bought their EF GLi 6-7 years ago. To cut a long story short, about two months after doing the side markers I replaced the stock taillights with the orange indicators with aftermarket EL ones with the clear (frosted white actually but you get the idea) ones from Repco. It cost 85 bucks a side with a further 10 bucks charge for freight (they had to ship them up from Perth).

I spent a long time searching them when I had the EF ghia. Send an email to this address asking for them. He has just received some custom ones from supplier. They are IDENTICAL to your current EF/EL orange ones, but are clear and so are a STRAIGHT swap.
sarge_stdenko@yahoo.co.uk Hope he doesnt mind me posting this, im sure he wont, more business for him! Cheers! |

As I recall, they were about $65 a pair a year or so ago IIRC. Whether that's lowered or increased since then I wouldn't have the foggiest.
EFFalcon has a set on his car which you can see in the photo on this thread: http://www.fordmods.com/phpBB2/viewtopi ... t=effalcon and the one in his gallery: http://www.fordmods.com/phpBB2/gallery. ... t=EFFalcon They have the advantage of being an easy fit to any EF/EL sedan or wagon (the exception being the EL Fairmonts but they already have the Fairlane moulding fitted as standard but with an orange lens. Genuine NF clear lenses are only $24.60 each making them the cheapest cars to upgrade of the lot) as you don't have to worry about painting or replacing the moulding. Personally, I think the NF ones look a little better but I must admit to not having seen them across the full gamut of EF/EL colours, they probably look better on lighter colours (like the Argon Silver of my Fairmont for instance) than darker ones like the Heritage Geen(?) of EFFalcons car.

hmmm... you sure? i thought they were all the same? odd... cause when i replaced the mouldings on my white EF w/ the XR ones, i just had to get the same Gli mouldings, but spray 'em red... so they are the same size i thought??
