    Indicator lights in bull bar

    Finally tracked down some lights to fit in the holes of the new bar on the GQ. After a bit research still not sure if it even is an ARB bar but could be. . The only indicator ARB list for a GQ is a different size so could be an early one or not ARB. .

    Anyway, lights fit the cutout perfectly but not sure how they are supposed to mount up to the tabs at the back. See pics, and if anyone can get some pics of similar setup mounted that would be great.

    Well they're not broken that's a start , I think I tried unscrewing it once before but mine are rusted badly from memory , either way I'll get the measurement of the distance of the screw holes and size of lens .

    Rossco I had my arm twisted by the nightmare vass engineer in Bayswater and ended up finding a pair of indicators to suit the arb deluxe bar, might even be led, but have not fitted them as yet, however they
    We're identical to the original arb lights. Only difference was the old lights were just indicators where the updated ones are like yours with the Parkersburg as well. Probably does not help you but I could try and find them and get you a part number if you are interested?

    I think i had a sneaky look @ your bar and it is definitely an ARB. They are slightly smaller and are recessed in a bit. I originally got these ones then tried them & were too small. Cheers heaps but all good. . .

    I rang arb initially and they only listed the indicator alone. The Bayswater guy told me the car Ess unroadworthy if he was to do the engineering on it because the front Parkersburg were obscured by the arb bar side upright. I challenged him as to how this could even be on the road in the first place, but he simply said it did not meet today,s regs and would not be passed so I found the other lights but just have not got round to fitting them as yet. Sure they are a direct change over

    The holes in my bar have no tabs at the back. Instead the light itself has an additional black plastic surround which recesses the light into the bar at an angle. The Surround attaches to the bar with two screws & the light attaches to the surround with two screws

    My bar which is TJM is different to yours mate but here's the stats of the blinker lens .
    Screw hole centres are 208mm , width of hole in bulbar is 190mm X 58mm.
    Whole assembly has to be fitted from the back as it's bigger than the hole in the bar .
