none of these kind of jobs EVER go by the book. Removed the burnt light.... Made a bracket.... Bolting the bracket on the OEM turn signal bolt..... Snapped off the OEM bolt....
So discovered drilling out the OEM bolt with a hole that were it is welded is REALLY hardened....
Now the question is to I match the left side to the right side or just have two lights that are not identical (guess what my OCD self is saying to that question)

I changed both sides and one of my bolts snapped too :-) it’s rather brittle.

Since I then needed to remove the bracket, it now has a shiny new coat of paint.

The front indicators on my 2012 car haven't melted as such, but around 3 years ago I had to replace one of the amber LED modules because some of the LEDs had failed and the rest were quite dim. Then, over winter I noticed that the replacement was going the same way - I can only surmise that this has something to do with heat and/or vibration. I decided to fit motorcycle 'Mini' turn signals as pioneered by a TM member (sorry I can't remember who). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/05/06/Front-Turn-Signal-Overview.jpg) The parts I used were all inexpensive with the whole job costing around £25 (excluding heat shrink tubing, amalgamating tape and tie wraps etc). All parts from UK eBay. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/05/06/Annotated-Mini-Turn-Signal-HR.jpg) The wires from the indicator module were cut to around 80mm before being joined to the existing cables. After being soldered, heat-shrunk and taped, the joined cable was pushed back up the rigid convoluted tube to produce quite a neat stealth look. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/05/06/Front-Turn-Signal5.jpg)

Great job Bunny, and more clearance from the exhaust as well. I replaced my faulty amber units with clear units that flash amber. From memory the pair were a lot less than one from Morgan.

Bunny, I’ve also just got some of these but haven’t wired them in yet. How does the brightness compare to the standard units?
