Default 940 Clear front indicator lenses wanted

Hi, without wishing to interfere with the previous posters request, I too am looking for a pair of clear front indicator lenses for my 97 Estate.
Present ones are opaque, scratched, a bit green(!) inside and generally let the front of the car down. Before I buy some from Lithuania on ebay, anyone got a decent pair for sale?
Thank you.

I got my replacement ones from here:
https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/after...ator-473660351

They were on offer for about £10 a side a few weeks ago when I got them so check for any discount codes.

Thank you.
Be wary of the very cheep aftermarket ones as some are a poor fit

Default indicator front lamps

Have you looked on Parts For Volvo site. They may have want you require. Don't go for the cheap option, you could regret it later

For non-oem lenses for the 700/900 range (and many other makes and models) ensure you get those made by DEPO (see their website). They are available in the UK but, supply is spasmodic. The main Importer is based in Spain.

Accept nothing less if you can find them and you will be satisfied.

Someone has kindly* broken my front indicators - they were faded and cracked anyway but that's beside the point...

I've been online and just went for the cheapest set I can find as I imagine they may get broken or tampered with again.

I used Carparts4less ( always happy with the service ) and with free delivery and an online discount it cost just over £30.

I cannot vouch for the quality as yet but I'll let you know.

Cheers,
Kelv

Thanks for that, apologies for the delay in getting back - death in family.

Yes I saw that PFV had them in, for around £23 and I'll get them I think. Also need a radiator by the looks of things so a bulk order approaching unless anyone has a good one, either in the NE England where I am for the next couple of days or west coast Scotland.
Regards
Tony

Well, the indicators arrived today...

I'm impressed by the quality, they seem to fit fine.
The tabs are strong enough, the bulb holders fitted in lovely - however, I ordered clear lenses which these are 'clearly' not....

I'll speak to the supplier about the lenses and see if they can be exchanged for the clear ones.

Still, way better than they were.

I kind of prefer the orange ones now tbh. I'm toying with swapping back to them as they are more in keeping with the look of the car
