WTB Front turn signals US Version

[rstclark]

WTB  front turn signals in new or like new condition  Will consider lenses, lenses or and gaskets, or complete signals

Stock original US versions all amber

U.S. cars used flush front turn signals — all amber— from March 1966 through late in 1969 (i.e., early 1970 models) switching to the U.S.-only bulge turn signals at that time. I’m confident you’re looking for bulge turn signals, but I want to emphasize for the larger audience that the bulge turn signals were not used on the early cars...

 

BMW still sells the bulge turn signals new. They were pricey a few years back; I gather they’re more pricey now!

 

Regards,

I believe the "bulge" indicators supplied with the Touring "sport package" back in the day are still available; at least they were a couple of years ago, as I bought a pair for my Touring.

They were around $100 each, which is quite a saving on the US bulge indicators. You would have to add the extra bulb/fixture for the US side/running light though.

Parts 63 13 1 354 557 & 558.

So, Les, the Touring comes out in early 1971 (April?), and as part of the Sport Paket, you get turn signals just like your American cousin has — well, at least from an appearances standpoint?

 

Thanks and best regards,

I actually like them from a visibility standpoint. I think the Euro style leave a lot to be desired...…...stand 50~60ft back from the front of the car when a Euro turn signal is on and see if you can see it real good. At night maybe ok, in the daylight...….A lot of people are putting LEDs in the rear lights, but not sure if anyone is doing it for the front blinkers?

Having just spent many $ on a refurbishment, I wanted help to be seen.

I’m looking for what was original on a late 72 Tii.

Which was the common U.S.-spec bulge turn signal...

RealOEM.com prices are not current, but they’re generally in the ballpark.

This makes no sense, assuming they are available, Maximilian's site has the US bulge indicators for $260 each, and the "Touring" bulge indicators for $100 each. So that's $160 for the extra lamp in the US one.

I'm seeing them for $292   Can't find the $100 lenses  ??

 

The dealers quotes $242  coming from Germany

If you're referring to the $100 "Touring" indicators they are part #s 63 13 1 354 557 & 558.

If you search for parts on Max's site, make sure you put a tick in the "Euro box". If all fails, call Paul (Wegweiser) at Max's.....he'll know.

 

edit: Blunttech has them at $107ea

I have a used set of "bulge" lamps but the bulb holder has been removed for use in the "smoothie" european style.  Economically priced.

In Particular  I'm looking for the "bulge " amber lenses for US cars in very good condition
