Clear indicators
Can anyone confirm that the facelift clear indicators (front wings) are a straight forward retro fit for a 1991 463? My current ones fill up constantly! They need replacing and the cost of the clear ones has fallen. MB Salisbury don't know the answer ...
I think these are relatively easy fit, but you will need to a bit more than just swap the lenses.
You will have to remove the front inner wheel arch linings to be able to change the lamp units.
Other than that, staright forward.
The lamp units are held down by bolts through a plain hole in the wing with nuts accessed/held from below; hence need to remove the liner.
The lenses should be a direct swap so you could just do that .. but it may not solve the leaks and the corroded reflectors etc will not make it look so pretty.. but it is doable.
Just buy as complete units, reflectors etc pretty cheap from memory (Gav is the man) and about 10 mins per side. You might want to do the little indicators (horizontal just in fromt of front doors) to match - also cheap; watch out for loosing the wires into the wing though!

Ah - I thought it would be a simple job of removing the current lens and base plate & fishing the cable up through the hole in the wing. Thanks Rakesh.
