Since I changed the side markers today (and tightened the alternator belt). I thought I'd start a thread for the poor old thing.
This the "before"
I'm not proud of this, but the old lamp was broken and I was obsessed with LEDs. This thing is one of a pair that were supposed to stick on to your door mirrors - bought from the bargain bin in the local motor factors when LEDs were ruinously expensive.
The stainless steel blanking plates were made from an old solar light that had died (running over it with my Jaaag hadn't helped)
The other side was some exotic Jap thing. I once had a post amended on the Blue for using the term "Jap" to describe a part - it might even have been this one.
I bet these were from a 1971 Toyota Crown or something else made of unobtainium now. Sadly I only have one left and though it's a nice fit, it's not right for my car.
