Flush mounts on the front, easy fitting for minis on the back.
make sure you can get spare bulbs for whatever you fit. Some of the cheap versions are a swine to get spare bulbs for.

Get some black plastic blanking plates from Motrax and they will allow you to fit and indy of your liking.

You'll be suprised to hear me say this. But DONT get the ones i have. No vanity here of me wanting to be unique either, just some honest advice.

They were from Hein Gericke and cost about £15 each, not a pair, each. The good thing is they are LEDs and have a lot of em in there too so they are very bright.
Downside was that they stuck out very far and i've had to do a lot to trim em down to make them the way they are.

Motrax seem to have a decent range of smaller size ones and LEDs too.

Rear ones shouldnt need anything to infill, just dont loose the black plastic thing that will drop off when you take the old ones off. The wiring at the back underseat may be a bit fiddly to get at to re-wire the new ones to, but front ones on my naked were a straight swap over from memory.

All in all, in my eyes, a very worthwhile mod. Looks the biz and from a safety POV i think the very bright LEDs are far more noticable. I also left em at the fast flash rate and they pass the MOT that way too.

feel free to ask me any specific things about doing this, as a few of the Soho massive will tell ya, cators have been a problem for me with pedestrians walking past and braking em etc

But do do it wont ya mate. You wont regret it.

I have some Powerbronze LED ones for the rear. The motrax ones that i have just packed up over a period of about a year. The Powerbornze ones are slightly larger (More led's). I have normal bulbed ones for the front, again, from Powerbronze. I find Motrax indicators made form Cheese and poo

If you do get Motrax indicators, check out the HG ones becuase they seem to have a few which are exactly the same as the Motrax ones and are cheeper. If you are like me and brake them, then HG sell idividual ones which are a tad cheeper than the motrax which are only sold in pairs.
