Anyone tried these?

No, but I just ordered these:

eBay

Much more expensive, but more OEM

I have them already, but am struggling to find chrome bulbs to fit. With amber bulbs behind the clear lenses the effect is not what I am after.

Your OEM comment is spot on though Mark, I was still in Punto GT mode and clearly the ebay link is for Punto indicators I am losing my marbles

I have oem style clear lenses (smoked now) and replaced my bulb holders for ones that take the 501 capless bulbs. 501's are much easier to get hold of, come in many different colours and are available in led form too. I went for amber led's so i don't get the 'fried egg' look as only the clear led is visible.

I bought the black version of those clear side repeaters, the rubber needed lots of trimming to get them to fit hole in the wing.

The bulb holders i bought were not exactly the same as the ebay ones above and needed a bit of trimming to fit, other that that it was a simple job. Pull out the originals, slide the rubber bit further down the wire, snip off the old holder, crimp on the new one and slide the rubber bit back over.

You were robbed

Not really, saw those and decided against them

Just noticed that the ones you got come with the harness, guess thats why they are much more expensive.
I got the cheapo's and they fine. Used the the mirrored 501's in my original holders. Twist the wire out, push in. Been fine for the last year.

Yes I wanted the harness in case I hit problems with a swap out. Still agree they are somewhat pricey

Are they not illegal/MOT fail?

I bow to your knowledge but I'm sure I read something about these a while ago to that extent.

Which ones?

Clear repeaters are an M.O.T failure.

I don't want to be one of those people who pipe up and say... well mine passed (but it did)
Never looked into the legalities. As long as they are the right colour flashing I would guess thats what they're looking for?
Is it one of those retro fit things?

Mine passed with them too!

Yes, clear lens are fine for the mot, but the bulb/led inside, has to flash orange.

Thats correct, mine was passed after I painted the bulbs orange with some of the wifes nail varnish!

Thought you were talking about clear lens.
Think it's a given that you not going to put anything other than Amber bulbs in when using clear.

So you have chopped the original bayonet type fitting holder and soldered these?

my moonie has standard clear side indicators but my porto has yellow why are they different

Plus and later 6 models were fitted with the fiat barchetta side repeaters. I believe.

Ros

got a 6

No idea then...

I just know that some of them came as stnd with the barchetta side repeaters.

Ross

Factory standard was yellow. Mine is a late plus and still had yellow non-clear ones.

I changed them myself to clear ones.

Not soldered, just crimped. They weren't those exact ones but similar. They needed a bit of trimming to fit back inside the rubber sleeve.

These are direct fit amber leds without all the crimping..

Bulb type is BA9 233 type (bayonet)

That would have been alot easier! 501's are more readily available though, so at least replacement will be easy.
