Sure does look nice. THis is like the ones I got from Robsport a few years ago, They did need to be slightly trimmed on the sides to make them fit nice into the holes in the door cards, but that was not a problem. A bit of a file on the sides sorted that out and allowed them to fit nice and snug. I was going to try and fix the original ones, but then I thought why not just get new ones and save me the time and bother.

Thankfully there are alternatives to the originals. If I recall correctly a NOS original pair went on e bay a while ago for over £100!! Thing is I don't think you would want to use them if you had paid that price as the originals were somewhat flawed. supercass

I got a pair of the black ones as well as spares. I repaired the originals in the Spider. While the original ones are chrome the black ones don't look original but I actually prefer the black as there is no chrome on a TR7 (same as the Integra) except for the windscreen strip.

The originals are three position ON, ON with door open, OFF. Are the replacements the same or are they two position, door open ON, OFF?

The replacement ones that I got are three positioned. You just have to make sure that you have the connections in correct, black, blue and then white. Mine work a treat and from the look of it they were made for the French cars. I must agree that I do prefer the black ones myself and would not want the chrome ones.
