Can anyone tell me where I can buy the front right turn signal assembly? I am unable to find it. Neither the dealer, nor ebay, nor Amazon, nor Aliexpress,nor surfing... If I do not find one I won't be able to renew the license to circulate.

I would need the white model or both sides if the american (orange).

Hi there, the only place I found one eventually was from a breakers yard, and had to pay about $125 for one, I had to pay it as I couldn't get one anywhere else and they knew that, I searched online for months for a new one and no joy, good luck in your quest.

Do you want to me to search within the UK, and get you a price, is it the right hand side front when you are in the vehicle, the clear/white lens and fitting?

If these are the ones on both lower side front fenders, they are not turn signal lights, they are marker lights.

Correct, the turn signal lights are inside the headlight assemblies.

In the UK we have both, 1 in situ in the headlamp unit and 1 that is located on the front both sides, that's why we call them side repeater lamps, the law may be different in the USA.

In the UK the lamps have to protrude so other road users can see the flashing on the front side of the vehicle

A recent thread on this forum showed the side fender marker lights rewired to flash with the turn signals.

Have seen those side flashing lights on many other brands of European cars but never one on a crossfire. SO, is there a special one (crossfire) for these repeater lights in the UK, or are they added to the car when licensed in the UK. Also, rewiring a car to do flashing marker lamps requires a modification, I am asking if UK crossfires have this as an aftermarket or a car licensed to the UK and no-where else. BTW, lets get a few pictures of a UK licensed crossfire with these required 'side repeater lamps', and are they mounted into the fender at the marker lamp location? I would like to see what is being required for the crossfire and not other vehicles in the UK. The OEM crossfire marker lamps (for the UK) aren't protruding out of the fender assembly where our USA marker lamps are, are they? So is there a separate turn signal lamp assembly on UK crossfires? If so, where, and how did it get there? Pictures, please!

bluecoupe, do these flash with the turn signals? If they do was it factory wired this way or added to the car? Having a clear lens and an amber bulb has been around for many years. The question I was trying to clear up is whether or not these are like the added exterior UK side repeater lamp/fixtures described earlier in the thread.

There sure is a lot of confusion about these side lights.
Where they are required to be capable of flashing then the wiring would be different to the wiring for the non flashing lights. There are plenty of different requirements on the specs for different markets.
For instance the Canadian market requires daytime running lights, the wiring for the switch is the same as the American market Crossfires but the switch has the required mods in it.

They are not called side lights in the UK, these are considered as flashing indicator side repeater lamps and the rules issued by the department of transport for Mot road worthiness states in the UK they must protrude so they can be seen by another road user on the side of the vehicle as well as the front and rear flashing indicators.

These are factory fitted as standard on UK models

In the US if we were to use the Canadian switch we still have to change the setting using the DRB III to enable daytime running lights otherwise it will not work automatically.

Not true, the illumination module is plug and play. I have a US car with Canadian module and DRL's work automatically. This has been discussed many times, many years ago.
