Default Custom Dash Indicator Lights
Just finishing my dash/clocks build and want some indicator lights with arrows on not just a round light that lights up a colour, all I seem to be able to find is this type...



Anyone know where I can find some?
Had a look about but am having no luck at all!

Cheers!

I've retained the RS section with all that on, just need left and right indicator lights (just an arrow really), I was going to use the RS arrows but the bloody perspex shattered around the edges of the indicator holes when I went from an 8mm bit to a 12mm and it looks messy I was thinking surface mounted indicator lights will cover it up nicely.
Or I can filler them up and start again, but thats a pain if I can find some lights I like instead!

I know it sounds gash, but what about masking off a little arrow on one of those green lamps and painting matt black over the top? You'd just have a matt black circle with a green arrow in it then?

Yeah but they are fucking expensive, wanted Ł380 for just the RPM and Speedo!
I got all mine for just over Ł400 I think including import duty fro the US.
