    Buying a set of clear indicators tomorrow and was wondering if anyone could advise me on the easiest way to remove the original ones ( I'm sure you lot must know the easiest way ) I was thinking about a flat head and prizing them out ?

    Thanks, Andrew.

    if it's first gen, then the easiest way is to open the bonnet and push the back end of the side repeater (nearest the bulb) out from the inside. Then it just sides out towards the back of the car...

    if 2nd gen, then on the outside, just grap hold of the side repeater and push it towards the front of the car, it should then just pop out.

    hope this helps.

    the back of the bulb holder just twists out, then just pop out the lens with a screw driver...
