Nice idea, I've often thought about indicators in mirrors too. Personally it's a bit too car looking for me.
The mirrors are iconic really IMO to the design. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

I love the G-wagon mirrors however all the ones I have seen on eBay are the older lorry type ones or just the caps to upgrade the plain ones to have indicators Big Cry 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Daniele, if you go this way with the G-class mirrors, then go the full Monty, so get the switch in this picture, which replaced the cigar lighter, which in turn has been moved to the cubby box. Thumbs Up

A higher resolution version of this switch is in below link.

Keep us posted of how you get on, I like these mirrors very much, suit the Defender well. Maybe you even want to transform your 90 in a full copy of the Series 3.1....Thumbs Up

Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

You always can get these heated and LED indicatored ones from Landreiziger in The Netherlands.... Cheaper than the G-class and they are amended originals. Fair chance that these are on my to do list for this spring too. Thumbs Up

I agree.


Daniele ... why not just buy all the rest of the bits and make a G-Wagon like Diesel-Jim ?

Why?

Why deny greater functionality and elegance if you can, without spoiling the spirit of the Defender.....................

We don't speak about a Series I or II.
