SWAP or buy drivers side clear indicator

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

SWAP or buy drivers side clear indicator

Post by timrosser » Sat Jul 07, 2018 9:27 am

I think I may need a drivers side clear indicator in the next year, I have a good passenger side one, mild yellowing to the plastic to offer as a straight swap or would be happy to buy any that are out there- I wouldn't mind one with a yellowed or cooked drl lens as I could probably transplant one from my damaged unit - pics of mine to follow!

Actually I would describe this as really good, almost no yellowingImageImage

Yes, that is pretty good. I would say better in fact that Joep's reproduction ones which are fine when illuminated but look a little white rather than clear with the lights off.

Hi James, do you know if Joep does the the whole lens or just the smaller one in front of the drl?

Unfortunately he just does the flat DRL lens and not the curved indicator lens. I think it might be too difficult to heat and bend a new one accurately. ‎
