Looks like your LHS parker in the bar isn't working

Argh! Good pickup - will have to go check now.

Dave,

If the connectors used on the Parkers and Indicators are anything like how mine were on my Deluxe Bar.
Do yourself a favour and re-do it yourself using either heatshrink or some amalgamating tape to seal the connectors in behind the bar's light assembly.
The parkers on my bar use to play up on an off, then after I started blowing bulbs and a bit of investigation later, the connectors had corroded only after a few months.

Cheers

Thanks Stewy, I'll have a peek in daylight and see if I can spot what's up.

Funny you mention that Stewy, I did that to my rig on the weekend - first time for me to even dabble with the electronics, but a quick pop down to the auto shop for some heatshrink, cable ties, and convoluted tubing, and it looks all slick now! Definitely worth the effort Dave!

I'll have to actually have a peek now you know. :P

I was going to have a go at it on the weekend, but when I tried them out, both parkers were working and so I thought I'd leave good enough alone for the time being ;-)

I did however get out for a couple more shots yesterday arvo.

Here's one that turned out ok.

The other thing I noticed with the pic above (the first one with all the ARB fruit on it) is the headlights.

Have you got the main headlights on in that pic?

It looks like there is room within the factory headlights for parkers, indicators, and two lots of headlights.

Hi Dave

I did the trip to Rainbow Beach with "da boyz" (oh, and girlies and kids) and when we got to the air up point in the afternoon the passenger side indicator in my new ARB deluxe bar (white on white...classic) had dropped in behind the bar, still working. Took it back and the guys fixed it by putting " a larger self tapper" in.

When I get chance I will be taking the bash plates off and seeing what actually holds them in. Apart from that extremely pleased with the car.

Regards, Richo.
