Evening guys,

Ok, I know a lot of you may say go to the dealer, and some may say eBay. But are there any other options for a pair of side repeaters? I replaced the bulbs in mine earlier today and they are both now broken. The spring part of the assembly snapped as I moved it back ready to unhook it. So now they are actually quite nicely stuck in place with double sided tape. But this, I'm sure will last a day or two at best. And as soon as I wash her, they'll be off!

Cheers,

Chad.

Shouldn't cost you more than 20 pounds MAX no matter where you get them from.

If a dealer wants more than that, get them from ebay.

I got mine from Aceparts on ebay

I'll have to give the dealer a call tomorrow. I saw an ad on ebay from Aceparts selling them. I know I'm asking for a lot but, are they as good as the OEM ones? Or is the quality notibly worse?

Thanks for the reply,

Chad.

Well i've had them in over a year with no water ingress and the clip on mine is metal so it won't break again ....

So possibly even better than OEM then. Thanks for that, I'll give them a try for the cost.

Thanks again,

Chad.

The OEM clip is plastic for a reason
Metal will wear/chip the paint
UF is right on the price ~£10 each from a dealer

re: paint

Everything wears the bloody paint on anything post about 2003 as far as i can tell If you think it's a problem you can put ducttape around the edge of the metal clip
