Last Saturday evening whilst at work, I arrived back at my site after being out on a road job, and as I was long past my finish time, I parked my car up on our forecourt, and left the hazard lights on (we have a lot of vehicle movements on our forecourt), and shot into the building to get my bits and bobs. As I was walking back to the car, I was looking at the indicators that we all know are obscured to a degree when the DRL's are on, and then looked at the mirror indicators and arrived at the conclusion that they are a bit naff to be honest.

It appears that they have one LED that shines into a clear plastic moulded part, with the light refracting internally to light the whole track up?

If this is the case, is there an after market version that can be installed in place of the OEM version? Or, would it be a viable project to install a row of LED's either into the existing plastic light channel, or behind it (maybe potted into place with resin?)
