Hi there. Repro are in the states and sell them for $100USD. I've heard from a guy on Seloc that someone  on here bought them from Sweden but I don't have their details. Do you have them?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br><br><br>Superdave

I got mine from here (Sweden):<br><br>http://www.reproglas.com/lotuseng.html<br><br>See this thread:<br><br>http://www.lotuselancentral.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=body;action=display;num=1081949366<br><br>Reproglas are not in the States (I initially made that error too because they work in Uncle Sam's currency).

Thanks for your help, will look into this. Iam trying to track down the manufacturer who is Robbolite to buy a btach from them in clear.<br>It's funny reading the posts about glueing two indicators together on www.lotusespritworld.com site as it was me who wrote that article which I did on my last Esprit.<br>I was also at Donington this year with one of my mates who owns a black GT3 who had clear indicators from Reproglas.<br><br>I have also seen other who have made them from translucent ceiling lights.

It's on the front on the Lotus OEM unit. I've done the same searches. My local Lotus garage reckons they've found something, so I'll report back later.<br><br><br>Cheers,<br><br><br><br>Superdave

The OEM lens has the trademark ‘Rubbolite’ with a series of numbers...with a bit of searching I found the following site for the manufacturer:<br><br>http://www.flexible-lamps.co.uk/<br><br>Emailed them and got the following reply:<br><br>The information that you have supplied for identification relates to the Model 380/01/08 which is still a current part if you have an account with us you can make a purchase in the usual way if not you will have to go through a local factor.<br><br>Wilma Lavery<br>Technical Officer<br>Flexible Lamps Ltd<br>01279 406475<br>technical@flexible-lamps.co.uk <br><br>Hope that helps.
