I'd love a set of blue indicators for my blue Caravelle! But here
indicators must be orange or they're illegal. Not that a cop would be
likely to pull me up, but changing them twice a year for
warrant-of-fitness checks would be a pain and also risk cracking the
lenses eventually.

Isn't it Projektzwo who sells clear indicators... at a ridiculous price?

I remember reading about colored taillight lenses for Golfs etc in an
English VW magazine somewhere. They can look really good. I THINK
they are Hella ie genuine items, but can't say for sure. Our European
(including British) listees should be able to help here.

Hmmm... when I think about it, those blue, green etc taillights MUST
show read when lit, so maybe the blue indicators wuold flash orange?
So where can I get 'em?
