			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A small mod it may be, but side repeater replacement (for pre-facelift cars) is one of the most effective, and thus popular.</p>
<p>I have just done mine, so decided to take a few pictures to help anyone else looking to do this.</p>
<p>The parts:</p>
<p>* Clear facelift side repeater lenses &#8211; £22 from CTP (inc postage &amp; VAT)<br />
* Silver orange flashing bulbs &#8211; Ebay, £5</p>
<p>Here is how the lens looked to start with:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.midshiprunabout.org/wp-content/uploads/HLIC/1f82f382a9c569947955c7542472aca8.jpg" alt="Image" /></p>
<p>To remove the lens, you can either use a flathead screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape, or like I did, just grab the lens and ease it off the plastic clips &#8211; the back came out first:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.midshiprunabout.org/wp-content/uploads/HLIC/4bb3a0242240a1606c210609e317e4b0.jpg" alt="Image" /></p>
<p>This is the lens so you can see the clips. The bulb holder twists to release the bulb:</p>

<p>Once out, you&#8217;ll notice that the original bulb is white &#8211; these need to be replaced, otherwise your indicators will (illegally) flash white. I bought silver coated orange bulbs as these avoid the &#8216;fried egg&#8217; look of having an orange bulb:</p>

<p>Here are the orange and clear lenses together. Once the orange lens is off, you need to remove the rubber seal surround and refit to the new clear lens:<br />

<p>Here is the silver bulb fitted in place and photographed whilst flashing:<br />

<p>Refit the bulb holder into the lens, twist to correct position and then clip new lens unit into the hole. Looks much better now.<br />

<p>Silver bulbs flashing bright orange behind the clear repeater.<br />

<p>A very simple mod &#8211; probably 1/10 on the scale and can be done in 10 mins easily.</p>
