Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Turner_SRi - 13:th-Aug-2014
So I've liked the look of these on quite a few Astra J's now and finally decided to order some.

Tempted to go for these myself. Need to see them up close to make a decision. You going normal or tinted repeaters?
Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Turner_SRi - 13:th-Aug-2014
I think I'm going to go normal for now.. then decide thereafter. I can take some close ups when complete if you like

Might have to add this on the future list now lol
Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Turner_SRi - 16:th-Aug-2014
I'm in 2 minds before I fit now though, standard bulbs or leds?
Last time I fitted leds I found the standard bulbs were brighter, unless the leds I bought were crap lol..

they will look good you may get errors with the led,s and load resistors may need to be fitted as i am sure they are on the cambus
i also love eddy i always wanted one of them but i keep discus fish and there are more than enough work
Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Lewis6317 - 16:th-Aug-2014
so would they just clip on where our current astra ones are? is it really that simple if so i will order them now lol
Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Rusty2009 - 16:th-Aug-2014
Yes mate.
Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Turner_SRi - 16:th-Aug-2014
You clip the lenses onto the surrounds and the surrounds stick to the quarter panels with the adhesive pads that's on the back of them.

Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Turner_SRi - 16:th-Aug-2014

People say they are but all the ones I've had were active day and night, my friend used to have a monitor lizard, that was the most aggressive thing I have ever seen lol

Cheers pal.
I done the pads back in June just to tie me over a while to get to gatwick. I need to change discs now and the pads again.
Followed that vid to do the pads forgot it had the part numbers. Disc removal just as easy?
Corsa/Astra VXR Indicator Surrounds - Rusty2009 - 17:th-Aug-2014
Not done it myself but yeah should be mate think they are held on by 1 or 2 star screw

How do you align these? I bought a set of after market ones (as they were significantly cheaper than the OEM ones) but they don't fit to the body work properly and leave a nasty gap in the middle.

Just been looking at these on eBay as I had a set on my Astra H, I can't believe the price of them!!!!! I remember paying £34.99 a couple of years ago for genuine Vauxhall, now they're asking up to £160!!!!
