Can someone recommend good set of clear indicators, which 100% sure fit as they should do? I think i have to order those from U.K because here in Finland Depo is almost only brand..

That's really bad. Buying parts that are road legal in Germany is a good idea. As mentioned they usually have a good quality. But the only indicators you can buy are modified MK4 ones. All of the owners over here brake or drill the yellow screen inside their standard indicators and pull them out in little pieces!

I bought these yesterday and fitted. You can see results. These indicators are some Italian shit:
So Depo & Fiffi or something is now in the bin. What next?

Okay. There is basically 3 kind of clear indicators available. Depo, TYC and those italian.
I bet every ones are crap. I took a quick search about new ambers G/Ford but i have to pay over 50-70£ +postage / pair for only front indicators. How mad is that?
Yesterday 2hours of trying to get those sit nice but not.. Sad that ultra clears are discontinued.

I had the very same issue, 3 diferent suppliers said they had the ultra clear ones in stock, turns out they didnt as they are discontinnued.
What I did was get a set of Depo ones, admittedly they look alot better quality than the ones you have. I then smashed the orange filter through with a large screwdriver. Once it was dislodged I got a pair of old garden hand cutters that I managed to get in through the hole and cut the orange filter up, pulling it out piece by piece.
Looks good but a lot of bother to go through.

Asked today and new set of ambers will cost 82€ / set. I think that is something like 70£.
The problem is not amber lens inside but the how poor fitment is.

Thanks, i am sure those are depo´s as usual. And that one original amber seller would not send overseas.
