Slee bumper on LX470 (1 Viewer)

When going through the instructions for mounting the bumper to an LX 470, it states you have to Convert your indicator lights……

1. If this bumper is fitted to a LX470, the side marker lights need to be converted to marker / indicator lights.

You don't "need" LC corner lamps if you are willing to modify your LX ones. The LC 2-filament bulb-socket is larger than the LX single filament bulb-socket.
