Good luck finding a specialist who can do anything other than just fit
a new bit.


At recent MOT got an advisory for faded rear indicators, I asked whether
that meant the plastics of the lens cluster would need replacing, he
said "no, they'll just dip them in orange paint" mentioned it to garage
next time and they wanted £70 per side to replace them.


Replace the bulbs with orange ones?
