    DB To Plastic Bumper Conversion - Turn Signal Lights

    Hi All,

    I'm in the midst of doing a plastic bumper conversion on my '88 325.

    My question is regarding the front turn signals:

    - I have the complete front plastic bumper, with trim, bumper shocks, license plate frame, side clips, foam rebar and front turn signal lenses with housings..
    - The housings however do not have the bulb & bulb socket. Can these be reused from my diving boards and simply remounted inside the new housings?

    Thanks in advance - been looking for a clear answer for some time now.

    If you get creative with a dremel and glue, sure they can.

        Nope I just did this myself. Best thing to do is buy the pigtails from a car with plastic bumpers and cut your old one off then splice
