Blinker Solution with Eurolights...

[Per Lindgren]

If anyone needs them, I have a set of amber lense bumper turn signals with bulb
holder for single filament bulb, for the 88-95 Audi 80/90/Coupe for sale,
cheap. Those are identical to the ones in this photo:
http://www.audicoupe.de/galerie/albums/S2/8/Dscf0026.jpg I also have a set of
92-94 Audi 100 amber turn signals. These are identical to the US spec, but
without the side reflector found on US spec. These are just remains of cars
where I have "upgraded" to white turn signals.
