Reply To: Indicators?

I too have fitted self contained LED ‘Rubberlite’ indicators under the bumpers front and back. As Martin says, they are visible in use, but not excessively obtrusive in terms of the overall feel of the car and could be removed without any trace, if required in the future. I also have LED side and stop bulbs.

If you go LED you will need a compatible  electronic flasher unit too. If you go for Beetle indicator units, don’t buy the very late ‘Elephant’s Foot’ type, they look a touch bizarre, the ones in Martin’s photo are probably earlier, 60’s or 70’s. You can buy flashing LED festoons for your trafficators, but I suspect that the average UK motorist simply would not see a semaphore arm in modern traffic.

I have also fitted a motorcycle brake light in the rear window to give a high level warning to any dreamers behind me in a queue.
