Hey Mal, I also so have a couple of those lens as well. Also found a couple of NOS Wipac flush mount back up lamps. I need to photo all this mess and thin the herd. Steve (CTR)

I did that on my car Steve. I used the Morris Minor white flat lens glass units and just ran the parking light wire from the headlamp to the turn signal location. You end up with a much better selection of 7 inch LH headlamps and imo the conversion looks better.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

I was going though a box of used front lamps and noticed both single element and duel element bulb holders. Thinking about moving my parking lamps from head lamps to turn signal lamps. I'm amazed at how many bee hive lens I have in clear glass, amber glass and plastic amber. Some still in the boxes. Steve (CTR)

You'll need to drill a few new screw holes, and polish off the mark left by the newer and larger style indicator, but other than that it's a 10-min job*.
* Should be - something will obviously snap or break or turn it into a 3-hour saga...

Thought I might swap my Plastic screw type MK3 front indicator units for earlier Glass push fit units. I would do a complete assembly replacement, Are they interchangeable on the body, hole size , mounting, wiring?
