I drove a 1976 Volvo 244 DL for a number of years, and I noted that the amber colour of the indicators had a tendency to fade through the years. Because of that I visited many car demolition plants in order to find replacements, and found out that Volvo had two suppliers; Hella and Cibie. I had Cibie which looked wonderful when new, but deteriorated quite fast, while Hella lasted somewhat longer.
