| Post subject: | Single filament Morris front indicators?? |
I have installed my H4 headlight conversion, with the parkers in the headlight, so now I am looking to change my Morris front indicators to orange globe, however these globes have a single filament ( ONE contact on the base ) and are not compatable with the Morris globe socket (offset pins aswell). I have no intention of painting the normal clear globes (dodgey), or fitting Rover indicators cos i want to keep the Morris lense. Is there another model of morris that has the same indicator assembly to suit a single filament globe??? Or am i just wasting my time? |

it may be dodgey but painting the globes is cheap and it dose the job....but i think you can get orange mini indecater globes from huddersfield spares in uk go to mini wold book issue feb 2004 page towards back of book left hand side down the bottom...also you may want to try minimainia.com as they have heaps of stuff to like this... |

Have your tried LED orange globes from autobarn. I have them on my car but not sure of what type. They have various types so they might have yours. |

I already have some spare orange globes here, and i AM going to file one of the side pins off, but i was hoping that i could get a proper socket and base for the orange globe - due to the original base (the plate with the spring behind it) having 2 electrical contacts.... i had a good think about it at work tonight..... maybe i'll just use a large amount of solder across the 2 contacts, making 1 big contact, so that the globe will connect properly..... Yeah, LED's are a good idea, but a little too hi-tech for the 850's setup.... and i've found that LED's can only really be seen when you stand directly infront of em... (i should know - i've used TONS in the mazda...) |

multi angled - meaning each LED in the socket aims in a different direction perhaps..... their beam is determined by the radius on the end of the diode, and dont have the ambient capability of a filament globe...... unless you've found some CrAzY globes i've never seen before (it is possible) either way, i still need to do the single contact base, after that i'll play with different globes... |

Try this website: http://www.superbrightleds.com I know someone who has actually used these in his clear lenses. You have the choice of Wide Viewing Angle LEDS. |
