I'm pretty sure I've seen one about and I think Cloggsy used a Rocca conversion kit so he might be able to help. I had a pair of old mini indicators with orange 22w push in bulbs that fitted straight into the sidelight bulb holders. Then it was just a case of snipping a couple of wires and and using some electrical wire and some male and female bullet connectors to enable me to extend the feed to the indicators upto the wires to the sidelight bulb holder. As for the holes left by my original indicators, i just filled them with epoxy resin and sprayed them up. They're held in by car trim double sided tape. I think the Rocca kit comes with blanks but can't be sure. All in, my conversion cost me about £10 but I had most of the bits kicking around! If you need anything further give me a shout and I'll send you some pics etc of my conversion.Hope this helps!

Ordered mine from Sorgys too on the 13th, still waiting for them to arrive though. Also, for those leaving original indicators on, whould you wire them up in series or parallel?

markfc click here to see them on ebay.

you'll see when you recieve yours that the resistors have to go in parallel. The tail unit turn signals have a single positive feed from the original indicator wiring. It comes with a couple of scotch locks so you could just crimp in the tail light feed wires and the resistors and retain your original/aftermarket normal indicators. All should be clear when you recieve yours. All in took less than an hour to fit start to finish

Thanks Bomber. Think I'll trade the originals for short minis and do the conversion as well.
Can't have 2 many indys commuting in London

Just put on an ermax undertray with LEDs so a flashing tail light would do nicely, excellent tip.

Keith, if you look under the FAQ part of the forum I think Cloggsy posted a "how to" fit a Rocca conversion. Should help you out with what your looking for. Like I said, any further help just give me a shout.

You don't know any body who could give me info about a replacement upside down front end and/or single sided rear ends do you?

'fraid not. Sure they must have been discussed here before though - worth a search.

If you get anywhere and need any manpower to help do the work feel free to give me a shout, would be really interested to help and see how it's done.

Keith

Got mine from the states too, vast improvement now, orignally had orange triangle indicators on my undertray but they looked naff, so got some LED indicators first but thay were not bright enough so found some clear triangle indicators from a ford focus and fitted them.
