Default Side indicator

Whilst giving the car a spruce up for Euromeet I knocked the indicator on the o/s wing. Heard something break and now indicator is flapping about in its hole. Looks like some securing clip has come away. Took off the wheel mud guard but couldnt find anything fallen down...not that I'd know what I'm looking for anyway.!
Its not that easy to get my hand in there anyway because of the windcreen fluid reservoir takes up most of the space.

Anyway. does anyone know what is missing, and what its called so I can ask Honda for a new one.

Are they easy to fit. If they need to be added from inside the wing it looks damn near impossible...

Advice please before I resort to superglue !!!!!

Not seen a wing indicator for an s2k but sounds like you've broken a small bit off the lamp that holds it secure in the wing, maybe an 1/8" square so it will be very hard to find, I think it'll be a new lamp you require, sorry.

Thanks Martin,
I think you're right, just had a closer look and think something has broken on the lamp itself. No doubt that will cost me an arm and a leg.....
Cheers

You've broke the securing tab off.
Get a new one from the dealers

You could try sticking the existing one in with silicone. This would stop the rattle.

If it didnt work you can easily peel the silicone off. (just make sure you get the right one)

Common problem, they do snap easily. Glue them or replace them.

Most smoked are illegal depending on how smoked they are.

Smoking!
