    You can get a replacement lens.

    YouTube shows how to fit it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7UhcxX2Mf8

    @unofix I am old fashion if that is what people calls it 🤣

    @pcaouolte many thanks for that, I was hoping just the lens can be replaced.

    You will need to remove the mirror glass and the plastic cap in order to push the indicator lens out without breaking anything.

    Replacement standard lens can be had for a little as a fiver on eBay.  Or you can upgrade to sequential indicators for a bit extra.

    They weren't around when I had my Focus's so not sure on brands.  There do seem to be several options on ebay so just choose one with good reviews.

    I’ve got a spare set of sequential indicators that would fit, lightly smoked or clear lenses from memory. Only used for a week or so, I wanted a set more smoked to match black mirror caps etc

    Pretty much as new just some silicone added to seal the back of them and already adjusted to fit properly as the fit can be a bit tight from new
