Hi guys
i just bought a set of clear side indicators that fit onto the standard EF/EL clip and i have no idea how to get the amber lens off so i can glue the clear lens on. its a piece of piss to get the whole indicator off but i need to get the lens off of the base clip. Anyone on here seen/heard of these before or know how to do this properly. the pic will explain it better than i can. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Matt

The car manual tells you how to pull apart your indicator lense in half does it? Dont think so.... |

ah no i shouldve been more clear..... DONT put them in the oven as the plastic backing is very soft.
However, it couldnt hurt to put it in for 15 seconds at a time and see if it makes it any easier to dislodge? |

matt mate i bet a fair few people here dont even know they can be purchased, hence the reason why everyone gets pointed to "ratman's" clear indicators. I was gonna buy a bulk order and sell em'.... |
