, gordonbennet will be thrilled! ;)
No, he won't.
Lorry indicators should have orange lenses even if all other vehicles need decorating in fairy lights lorries do not, orange bulbs behind those lenses are optional (but handy if you get a broken lens cos still ornage light innit, they should be a reasonable size and have no plastic chrome or shiny clear plastic to disguise the orange bulb inside for fashion reasons that inevitably catch the sun making the indicator all but invisible on sunny days.
Those pulse lights are a gimmick, they are not as clear as normal properly designed orange lensed jobbies, the best indicators are like Stobart trailers have, 3 standard round Hella light units each side giving three sidelights three brake lights and three indicators on each side, those indicators set centrally in each round lamp unit so the sun doesn't affect them and flashing together not in some poncy showy sequence designed to impress small boys and motoring writers not on the HJ payroll, whatever the daylight maye be they cannot be missed yet are not blindingly bright at night like some of the latest LED's especially those fitted to larger Merc cars.
Daf lorries have had these sequential led indicators for a while now, they're utterly useless and easily missed, especially in the sunlight.
Check out a Stobart trailer for those three Hella's each side, see what you think, am i right or talking out me backside as usual.
Thankyou for allowing me this small rant, haven't had one for at least an hour and getting withdrawl symptoms.:-)
