Indicators

[Jules86]

Just want to know what sort of colour everyones indicators are and what sort/type of vl you own...cuz i bought a repacement front left indicator only to realise that it is noticeably orange where as the ones i have now are pretty much white from the front.

Also how shiny the metal plastic things are, i have one shiny and one destroyed by heat...but while going through the wreckers they have 2 full plastic ones (on 4 cars) that don't look that damaged; they're just not shiny.

Just went an had a look at the lights, the reflectors are like chrome.

Looked at a new R/H indicator I have in the shed and it's white also not orange..

yeah my indicators are white too and ive got a 88 vl
if thats what you was talking bout

they are meant to be white, but the globe is meant to be orange. Chances are the other globe has faded and no longer looks orange.

When indicating the light emitted must be orange/yellow. When not indicating the vl front blinkers will look white.

Yeah my look white, normally. From the front, but this other 1 is orange, it has the clear plastic front but that flat piece inside which the bulb is behind is fairly orange...not sure if it looks better, my mate reckons it does but the only prob is that the other one is smashed on the car i got it off.

And the reflectors, would holden be able to order a new one in, and what they going for cuz it looks weird having a shiny and dull one.

from what I can remember, the first lenz is white, followed by an orange lenz and a normal bulb, this gives a white orange white orange effect in the daytime, making it easier to see the indicator is on

Well here's what im talking about, i haven't seen many vls with these indicators, and would like to know ppls opinions on which they like better. And if ne1 knows what they originally come from.

I like the clear looking ones better...

They are supposed to have the orange bit inside to make them flash orange. My old ones had it and the new TYC (aftermarket) ones have it too. I like how mine look and they are roadworthy and shiny and new LOL

[Jules86]

These ones are pretty much new, ill put it in and take a shot to see the difference.
