Fitting chrome side indicator/ repeater surrounds and chrome bulbs


What you need:

(Picture1)
Chrome indicator surrounds (try eBay)
Chrome repeater bulbs type 501 (automotive stores or even eBay)
Something to clean around the repeater to ensure no dirt or grease is present.

Directions:

1. Remove repeaters by sliding towards front of car and pulling out (Picture2 & 3)
2. Twist bulb holder out of the lens to access bulb (Picture4)
3. Pull orange bulb out of holder
4. Push new chrome bulb into holder (Picture5)
5. Clean lens casing and around repeater hole in wing to ensure chrome surround will stick and stay. I used Autoglym intensive tar remover.
6. Twist bulb holder back into lens.
7. Put complete lens back into hole in wing
8. Remove backing paper from double side tape from the rear of the chrome surround
9. Stick firmly around repeater. (Picture6)
