    umm..not too sure vr/vs had clear indicators..maybe series lll vs did..all the rest either had square or oval orange ones...so you'll need vt ones, i cant see why they wouldnt fit, other people have done it.

    Vt clear lenses fit, I have just put some on my VP.
    As for the boot garnish a mate of mine put the clear tail lights in and sprayed his boot garnish in gloss black.
    Looks pretty tidy........food for thought.

    hmm, my car is white so black boot bit would look funny, ill have to look into getting vt ones for it, they only had vy ones which didnt fit, but ill certainly lok into it

    vx were the first model to come out with clear side indicators. just go to coventry's and ask for a set, will cost u about 30bucks. and they just push straight into the holes in the side of the car. 30sec job. as for clear boot garnish......if u can find a wrecked silver vp or any other colour which isnt to dark they tend to come with clear garnishes not red ones......as i noticed last nite when i walked past one!
    jokes..ahahaha i get jokes

    nah it was vts taht came out with clear indercators first, but ive heard that u need to get new light bulbs for the indercators, ones that are orange because the indercator is clear so a normal bulb wouldnt work
