Has anyone any experience of the above! The N/S door mirror indicator stopped working on my A6 after some apparent water ingress.

You can pick a pair of progressive repeaters up on ebay for £35 quid. Do they work and do they look any good? Surely at that price it's a no brainer?? Hmmm...

If they're cheap enough buy them with Paypal and you should then have no issue if they're crappy or the seller won't refund/replace.

I had a failed wing mirror indicator on my CC and found it cheaper to replace them with some dynamic jobbies (even though I'm not really a fan if I'm honest). 24.99 later and so far so good. I did think they would be cheap but they turned up well packaged and with a trim removal tool thrown in. They even fit well when I had thought that might be a problem too. It was £25 I didn't mind losing tbh, if they'd been no good I would have bit the bullet and just replaced the original.

Cool, that was my thinking. TBH I haven't come across anyone who has replaced them with these, but a guy across the road who does bodywork and detailing said they would be okay and would look decent so that's what put it in my mind.
As you say for the money it's an amount you don't mind losing as long as they work and look decent quality otherwise I would have just got OEM again. Thanks
