How to change orange indicator bulb - Page 2

The design is fairly standard and fitted to various cars of that era.

One of my sons scrapped his Audi A4 and those repeater lights were black with a clear lens / orange bulb. As my V70's paintwork is black I fitted them to the Volvo and think they suit the car better than the original orange lens ones.

Doesn't the V70 have clear lenses anyway!

Don't know what they come with as standard but mine were amber. Perhaps a previous owner "upgraded" at some time?

Quick look on ebay brings up both clear and amber available so maybe there was a choice when new? Might be a project for me to research to add to my growing list of hobbies now that I am retired.
