Wing Mirror Indicators
What You Need To Know When Buying Wing Mirror Indicators
Indicators are a way of increasing visibility and making your intentions known on the road. These can become easily damaged due to exposure or impact damage. The side indicators can be replaced to the original specification. The indicator can be located in either the wing as a side repeater or inside the wing mirror but they can also be on the front of the vehicle near the headlight but separate from the headlight itself.
What side of the vehicle has a damaged/missing wing mirror indicator?
Driver side: the right hand side when sat in the car facing forwards. Also known as off side or O/S.
Passenger: the left hand side when sat in the car facing forwards. Also known as near side or N/S.
Is my wing mirror indicator LED or Non-LED?
Non LED is a standard halogen bulb.
LED is a light-emitting diode.
If the product is described as including bulb, what does this mean?
The indicator will come complete with a bulb holder. If the description does not state this it will be the lens only.
What are the different colour bulbs and lenses?
For bulbs there is clear or an amber/orange shade.
