I've seen on several posts people who have fitted gen 5 front indicators to 94-95 bumpers even though they're a bit smaller. I've bought some, but cant seem to screw them into my bumper, anyone care to mention how they done theirs, someone suggested glueing to me but if my bulb goes, what a pain......

You have to redrill the hole for the screw at an angle, and cut the bracket off of your old turns and epoxy them onto the new turns.

I redrilled the new hole. I pulled the tab that holds the screw to the bumper and relocated it, instead of gluing the old bracket to the new. I removed the metal tab and installed it back wards. By installing back wards it moved the hole (where the screw goes) closer to the inside of bumper, therefore aligning the new drilled hole to the metal tab with out cutting or gluing brackets.

You still need to cut off the new bracket, and glue the old bracket on to the new turn, if you don't nothing will hold in the new turn on the inside, toward the middle of the car.

Dont need too. The moved metal tab pushed the original brackets into the bumper.

I see what you are saying, its been a while since I did mine, and I was thinking that the 93 bracket is not wide enough for the slots on the bumper.

I was too lazy to cut the brackets. I got lucky and found a way around it.

Pic 1 = New Hole
Pic 2 = Shows Stock brackets on 90-93 turn signal Pic 3 = Metal Tab (original position) Pic 4 = Metal Tab Removed Pic 5 = Metal Tab placed to line up with screw By moving the tab over, it caused the new turn signal to properly fit to the slots where the original turn signal went. |
