ive always wanted to rid my 2+2 of the horrible faded orange front indicators, trouble is there aren't any upgraded metro units available, and there are very few clear lenses that fit the hole without leaving big gaps, so at stonliegh I remembered my tape measure and went shopping, after trying a few I found some that are the exact same size as the metro units
