FL Series 2/3 front turn signals

I am specifically looking for the signals with the half amber / half clear lenses, or location on where I can purchase them. I have attempted on e-bay, here on the classifieds, as well as RX7s being parted out in England.

Any suggestions? I would LOVE to source someone who sells these ! For assistance in describing what I am looking for, I have enclosed a pic

Try Ausrotary.com

They are Aussie spec lights from the S2/3.

I have posted out a few sets to guys in the USA that I got from friends who were parting out their cars, but I can't find anymore local to me as i've sourced them all.

I also bought the last set from Mazda here in Australia and posted them out to the USA too...and they are discontinued from Mazda now.

If ya get stuck I can try get some from another state and send them to ya, let me know.

Just like Cam said, Australia is th best bet to find them. I've got my set here still waiting for me to lengthen the harness on them. I loved them on my S1

Could the stock setup be modified to work like that using stock covers and atkin's covers with a custom back?
Does anyone have a set of these where you could get pics of the inside and the back of the lense?

Stock buckets can be modified. I made my own years ago. You will need to cut a piece of steel as a divider, the grooves it fits in are already there. Then drill a hole for the running light and mount a universal 194 style bulb holder from an auto parts store in there. Then its just snip one wire from the stock bulb holder and solder it to the new bulb holder.

As for the lens, I be it could be done. Especially if you took an atkins cover and cut the required orange lens out of a stock cover.

That might be a good idea for someone to try. I may do it myself at some point.
