J2Racing Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 As part of the build up of my MKI capri I'm ditching the front bumper. I want to go for the same look as the early RS2600. To explaine: They had no front bumper and the twin round head light set up. Normaly with this set up the indicators are in the bumper. But no front bumper so they used a rectangle unit that is flush mounted. I don't want to use a rangi trailer light so I'm try to work out what they used. I'm thinking it was a MKI escort unit. It doesn't have a part light as part of it. The lense is all orange. Can any of the escort people help. Plus I need a pair. Not talking the blonde type. But a pair of those could be fun too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr has a dual filament bulb for indicator and parkers, so both use the same clear lesne for a white light, so I can't see why not.

I'm sure you can and I"ve been thinking of runing both due to the indicators being so low. I wouldn't run parks as my only indicators because there a piggy back bulb in the main headlight. And as you point out you got a wof like that. Example two: Take a look at the back of mos 60's 70's yank cars how many have separate rear indicators. Not many if any. Most will flash a tail/brake light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
