Guest Milkey Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi All, I've just picked up a set of morette headlights for my 88 Cab. They're the type that cover the original front indicators and as I got them 2nd hand they didn't come with the rectangular units that are usually included with them. So my question is: Does anyone know of any other suitable indicator units I could use and where would be a good place to mount them without butchering the front bumper too much? Thanks, Dan.

welshlad Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hmmm been thinking the same myself, But! some one has installed orange bulbs inside the outer light units (like the side light bulbs) so look like mine will flash in the daylight , whether they would pass a mot i dnt know ill add a pic when i dig them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkey Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That sounds like a good idea, I've heard of people modifying the units to include an internal indicator before. I've been wondering what would/wouldn't pass an mot myself - I guess before I commit to anything I'll ask the guy that tests my cars what he thinks...

gingergman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've seen a strip of led lights where the bumper strip is (with the strip removed), saves buggering the bumper and is not that noticeable, they was used for indicators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkey Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Think I might have found the solution, I've found a front bumper called a "preditor" - I know, that's spelt wrong but that's how it's spelt on the site lol - Which is basically a 90 spec bumper with a blended in splitter and has indicator units built into it already. Seems good value to me too at £250 delivered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 thats pricey, even more so by the time you add on paint and im guessing its fibre glass, not a fan cos it will just crack if you hit something lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkey Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 You reckon that's pricey? I didn't think it's too bad. If you factor in what a set of units will cost me on their own - Say £25, Then the cost of a decent splitter (Which I want to add anyway as the front end looks high and I was thinking of trying to get hold of the RS type splitter from an earlier bumper and having it modified to fit the 90 spec bumper) £150? Then I'd need to have the bumper painted anyway - £50. I'd be into over £200 anyway. It is made from "top quality" fibreglass - which I'm not massively happy with but then I don't intend on hitting anything! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 ooo i like the idea of the strip lights unless the internal indicators are legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkey Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The only thing with the strip lights may be that they could be the wrong wattage? If they aren't 21w then the relay won't recognise them and the lights inside the car will flash away like mad like they do when you have a bulb out?

welshlad Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Actually mine dont look retro fitted they look like they were supposed to have indicator bulbs in them unless they have four side light bulbs and i cant see that! can anyone shed any light on this????? http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z349/welshlad1978/DSCN6905_zpsb7126bff.jpg http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z349/welshlad1978/DSCN6906_zpsb7b9ab4f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkey Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hmmm, see what you mean, I haven't received mine yet (ebay purchase) so I can't compare mine to yours, I'll have a look at mine when they get here and post some pics up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirtydog Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 My step son bought sme morette replicas for his mk2 orion the other day and wasn't sure what to do about the indcators then I found these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-LED-projector-lens-button-bolt-amber-led-CNC-black-ultra-thin-indicator-/181145653631?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2a2d1f517f And our thoughts were to mount them at the bottom of the light unit between the 2 round lights. Despite their small size they're actually pretty bright, I fitted a pair to my bike and they look like this when they're lit up They're even brighter when you're looking straight on at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkey Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They look pretty smart. Will they flash away like mad when they're on though? I've heard that if they're not 21w or equivalent then the relay doesn't recognise them and the lights on the dash flash really quickly as if there is a bulb out!
