Does anyone know what off what car I could get clear side indicators to fit my 3dr Lanos 02 (Aus)?

I bought some clear indicator lenses (and orange bulbs

) from Holden for my car below.
They are for the VT-VY Commodore. I think i ended up paying about $40AU for the pair new.

These lenses used the standard Lanos plug (so i didnt have to cut any wiring). Fitting them up was easy!

I've got some new side indicators to replace the stock ones, how can I get them off?

Press the orange lens against the car (like you were trying to push it into the engine bay) and then slide it towards the rear of the car.

It should just pop out... you dont need screw drivers or anything

I've taken mine off and want to replace them with some that I have.

They need to be screwed on, and I'm not messing about with drilling holes.

Can i cut the wires off the existing ones, connect the wires to the new ones and glue onto the car?
What glue will be suitable? Just normal superglue?

You could potentially - but what if the bulb busts? How will you get to the socket to change the bulb if its glued down?

I'd be drilling the holes - and then posting photos

Ok, how would I drill the holes?

Obviously I would have to get a drill, but is there a special kind I need, and would it not damage the car?

I'd use a drill to drill the holes

Ummm... i might centre punch the hole (you might need something solid behind the metal like a block of wood so the metal doesnt buckle) and then put masking tape over the paint work so the drill doesn't dance around. Don't forget to use a pilot drill too - that'll help...

lol, it sounds like I'm going for the superglue option then.

I can change the bulb from the outside part of it, so I don't think it will be a problem.

What type of glue should I use?

Gorilla glue has always worked for me, just make sure you get it exactly where u want it because its hell to get off and it will damage your paint if not careful. i thought it would be easier and better if u could of drilled but oh well. it s whater ever you choose though.
