Default Side indicator lights.

Having problems with my right turn indicators--but thats another issue(and thread). However, whilst initially trying to check out which indicator bulb had blown I lightly tapped my side indicator lens (euro spec corvettes are all fitted with indicators on the front wings), I immediately heard something drop of the back of the indicator lens. Luckily I reached into the air vent and fished out part of the clip off the back of the indicator. It looked as though it had been glued once before. My question is, does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Incidentally most corvette C5s in the UK were personal imports, so not many people dealing in spares.

All the export parts have GM stock numbers. If its the OEM side indicators it'll be avaiable through the Forum vendors.

My side indicators are after market. Stafford lighting have a good range if you decide to change to after market.

You will be able to get it from Bauer Millet. You won't need a part number just the VIN and description of the part.
