as long as you're sure its the correct part number and you found it that cheap id say go for it, you can always sell it to someone with an SP20 or even another SR2 if you dont end up using it

Forget about the AEM anti-water what the heck that thing is

It has been discussed before and if they were really that good, then car manufacturers would be using them

I installed my indicators today with LED bulbs.

The bulb holder/plug socket was different from my original orange indicators to the new clear ones, maybe ford decided to use a different plug type for no good reason?

I just used the original holder/socket with the clear indicators, all installed and looks awesome, just thought id give you the heads up.

Also if you use LED bulbs and the indicator doesnt flash, take a bulb out and turn it around to reverse the polarity and it will work.

Don't forget that US Proteges have longer rear bumpers though.
