In-Pro Smoked Mirror Indicators, still available?

[f1fan]

I've been wanting a pair of In-Pro smoked mirror indicators for a while, now I've finally got round to buying them I can't find anyone that sells them?

Does anyone know somewhere I can get them or can recommend a good quality alternative?

Thanks

A post I gave a week or 2 back..........



Inpro ones are hard to find (rarer than rocking horse do do), couple of links below, both from the USA. i bought mine from one of these companies but can't remember which.

InPro smoked repeaters/indicators (same as mine in the pic above).....

~~ Clicky here ~~

Or non Inpro ones from parts4euro.com (below), I've used them a fair bit and have had no problems but others have had with delays and bad communications.

They are not made anymore but some one posted a possible retailer link in Canada a while back.

If think that's too much trouble then Lamin-X your present ones to the colour you desire.

Too slow for MC71...

Thanks guys, went to the website for the German company selling on eBay and bought them direct http://www.fmw-tuning.de/VW/Side-indicator/inpro-Mirror-indicators-clear-black-VW-Golf-Jetta-5-Passat-EOS-::1922.html

At least with a German supplier there's no hassle with importing them, my car stereo chassis from the US is sitting in UK customs at the moment 10 days after I bought it!

All I need now is to work out how to fit these mirror indicators!

I'm too late...I was going to suggest  one 8"x7" sheet...it gives you 4 pcs to do the side markers without the removal and install procedure.http://www.lamin-x.com/One-Universal-7x8-Fog-Cover-p/1-78.htm

Thanks for that, will have fun fitting these!

if you get a long enough T8 screw driver (300mm off ebay), you just have to take cover off, tilt glass forward, then you can get to the 2 screws holding the indicator unit in from behind the glass, and that's it.

Now that sounds easier, off to eBay I go! So the covers come off first without removing the glass??

^^^^




Insert removal wedge -3409- between mirror housing -1- and side turn signal -2-.
Move removal wedge -3409- in -direction of arrow a- along to outer side of mirror.
This releases latches for mirror housing -4- from locking hooks -3-.
Pull mirror housing -1- forwards off mirror mounting at front in -direction of arrow b-.
Remove mirror housing -1- upwards off mirror mounting in -direction of arrow c-.

Thanks MC71, I'm looking forward to trying out my new trim removal tools and getting it sorted

[MC71]

^^^^ its fairly straight forward, once you've done one side you'll fly through the other one.

Yeah cover off first, no need to remove glass.

I used brute force and ignorance on first attempt, no trim tools, and snapped off one of the lugs, numbered 3 above. But its ok as these are on the new indicator units. It is a really fiddley job, but take it slowly, don't drop those tiny screws!!
