Check this post (about 3 pages down from here) http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/forums/...ge=1#Post465022I got a set or reds from these folks , they are Landrover lenses , but with a little "ovaling" of the holes , the fit perfectly .

that will work. I think I'd rather do what Wade did and just replace my amber with red. Then add the signalminder. http://www.fasteddysports.com/?page_id=3&product_id=509

Yeah , you'll be all yellow in the back at night if you opt running lights on the Signalminder . That's why I went to the red lenses . A small round file will oval the holes just right . Get some wee flat washers so the screws don't dig in .

Ian , I think he's talking about the eBay guy with the lenses , he's from the UK . AS far as I understand it , amber is stock color , even internationally .

are you running the signal minder? If so how hard was it to install. Did you do all the mods including removing the spring from the directional control? I am still unsure of what that will do. Can you geve us more info on it?

Sorry , was out of town working . If you have decent electrical skills , the Minder is basically plug n play . Just solder your connections and use heat shrink tubing . No , I didn't get around to the return spring , I'm a procrastinator .  That benefit just allows a user- timed blinker circuit to start and stop without having to click the switch back to neutral . I've got 4-way flashers , running lights , and an 8-blink cancel.
Jump in there and do it , we're always here to talk you through . IMHO , money well spent .
