Hi all i would like to find out about 2 things. 1 side repeaters for a El i would like to change them from amber to clear and i would like to know is it hard to change and where can i obtain a pair. 2nd in driving/fog lights ive seen them on fairmonts and fairlane's just wondering if i can get some to fit my el xr and are they the same or are they different and where can i get some ?

for the clear indicators, you need fairlane ones..... or yo could pay something like $180 for straight replacement clear indicators. But With the fairlane ones you need the mould aswell. I think i paid $60-$70 for both moulds and indicators. Actually i still have them in my roomi'll get you the part number tomorrow. Not sure about the fog lights but i think they are a different shape.

Indicators are easy as to replace, they basically just unclip. As for where to get straight fit clear ones, PM ratman as he sells clear aftermarket ones for $70 including postage and the amber globes!

You can get clear repeaters in the same shape as the standard GLi/Futura/XR ones. PM Ratman as I think he makes them, or is involved in the process.

i have seen fog/driving lights on ebay go for stupid amounts of money, like $200 plus for second hand.

I checked in with him about 2 months ago, and at that stage he was expecting more within the next few months.

Yeah thanks Blur i pm him and i'm on the waiting list so just have to wait and be patient.

now to find out about some driving lights to 1 see if the fit in my xr bar and 2 to see how much $$$ they will cost, so if anyone has any lying around could i see if they fit in my xr bar.

hello all,
ok, yes they have been ordered, no they haven't arrived - apologies to all those patient people, we haven't forgotten you. The deal is this, the local Australian manufacturer is EXTREMELY unreliable therefore they have forced us to look overseas - which is not what we wanted to do, essentially we have found a new manufacturer who is willing to supply them but costs will be more, shipping is a lot more (and only worth it in huge amounts) and there is a slight issue of import duty that I'm trying to get clear.
We are not a retailer, I just had custom ones made for a few of our cars and interest ballooned and I ended up the contact point for the local manufacturer who has no interest in public 1 to 1 sales.
Anyway, I'm still pushing the local guys to fulfill the last order and will advise everyone when & if the overseas thing will be viable. Hope that helps. If you want a set, just email to go on the list. Thanks

tis all good ratman hope you can sort it, did ya get my email ?

to get by customs duty, say they are motorcycle indicator covers. motorcycle parts do not get taxed like car parts do. the ONLY exception is bike exhausts (they get taxed), and if the value of anything else is over $1000. so if it's under $1000. get them sent as motorcycle parts.
