Refurbishment of Door Mirror Indicator

Featured Replies

I had an issue on my door mirror indicator, where the indicator unit had suffered water ingress. Luckily, the indicator functions, but is light output was low.

 

I decided to refurbish the indicator.

 

Is separated the outer cover of the mirror cover using these You Tube guides  

 and 

 

 

The indicator unit is glued together, but by carefully inserting a blade , the clear lens part can be separated from the reflector part of the indicator.

 

The indicator has three orange LED's. On mine, the reflective coating has been dulled by the water ingress,

so I applied some double sided tape over the dulled reflector, then used some tin foil on the double sided tape as a reflector.

I glued the parts back together with 151 Fantastic Elastic glue £1 https://www.poundland.co.uk/19623-151-fantastic-elastic-glue/

 

It now works as well as the other indicator.

 

Hope this helps
