Default NEW! My Last modified: direction indicators Aston Martin Style.

BMW Seitenblinker Schwarz M LED Blinker E81 E82 E87 E88 E60 E61 E90 E91 E92 E92 | eBay

instructions:
- Apply double-sided tape on the sponge around the direction indicator
-buy a BMW connector with cables
-cut 2 sockets Jaguar and solder the wires from the connector BMW. Insulate all.
-attach the new LED turn indicator on the body of car.

attention: the buzzer inside the car arrow activated will increase the pulse frequency but externally will always be the same.

these arrows are both obscured or clear.

(you might notice a slight aura of the old indicator. just a bit of polish to make everything perfect)

Certainly distinctive. Pretty nice mod.

I might like it better if it was less angular. Works against the curves of the car, so not for me.

Nice work, although here in the US there is an very oval jaguar symbol there.

I also think a curvier indicator would work better with the car's curves.

I love the look of your car. Check inquiry I made in other post about your original rear anti-sway bar...(please)

It certainly helps others notice when you change lanes.

But we already have the blinkers on the side, at least my car does. Were these not on the earlier models?

Sucker bet.

Over/under is whether or not he will paint them.

And Phil chimes in!!
Ok. I actually like them, and as is!
That being said, I would have to lose the front marker lights, which I would do if I were still working on body. For me, the two lights compete but I also know in person something can look totally different.
So, no, I'll pass on them since I'm finished with body work. (Had I seen them before I painted car??? I'd probably have them!!!!) plus, I love my side winged badges!

Fing them on ebay UK. Then he listed on ebay USA as well. He called them a vintage jaguar winged emblem I think. There's a new guy selling an aston Martin badge that has jaguar in place of the aston lettering. But it's too small to cover the side markers holes. Nice though.
