Replacement ARB turn signals (1 Viewer)

[jonheld]

I finally got rid of those crappy amber ARB turn signals that last about 18 months before rotting out. Replaced them with water tight LED units from a VW Jetta that I bought on Ebay.
VW GOLF JETTA MK1 MK2 EURO-SPEC SMALL BUMPER LED TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS - BLACK
Direct fit with just a little trimming of the plastic standoffs in the rear. I hope to get a bit more life out of these.

They work great until you drive through a water crossing.....they still work but look like crap do to full of water even a few weeks later.

I got a deal on these ipf driving lights and thought I would be cool and mount them in place of my turn signals.

The safety nerd in me now says I should mount some sort of turn signal.

The lenses are sealed to the housing. The only way water can get inside is through the rubber grommets that exit the rear of the housing. Mine are sealed with a dab of silicone.

Thanks for heads up Jon. I will dry them out and do that.

Forgot to update this thread.
I found these:

PAIR of LED Indicators, Signals + DRL or Park lights For ARB Bullbars 135 x 38mm | eBay

Suits older style ARB bullbars. ⺠135mm x 38mm (The smaller type used in many earlier ARB bars such as TJ and JK Jeep Wrangler, Holden Rodeo, Land Rovers, Land Cruisers etc). These are 135mm x 38mm. Current draw is.

www.ebay.com.au

Combination LED DRL and turn signals. Direct fit to an 80 Series ARB bar. At the current exchange rate, about $40 for the pair.

The turn signal wire is tapped into the OEM turn signal and the DRL is run off ACC power with a separate dash switch. They come in handy to throw some light into a camping spot while setting up at night, and I don't have to have the truck "ON". They use very little current and make very good DRLs.
