Good point. I also noticed this. I work in automotive so can probably get similar rods, as long as I have ONE as a sample or info on it (thread size/length, etc).

Does anyone have a P/N? I could also order some from a stealership, how much can they possibly overcharge for a rod?

I did find an Aston Martin parts diagram somewhere online.. Just Googled and looked around for the same purpose you're thinking of. Ultimately just got impatient and didn't want to wait on the part. I think it's just a 6mm rod if I recall.. Nothing uncommon. I used a little thread lock then a jam nut to secure in the light. I love the clear lights more every time I look at the car.. Amazing how much they update the look of the DB9.

Karl's right.. I think that the Dbs trunk lid would be a really great addition to the DB9.. I'm not really too fond of the aftermarket lips.

I just installed the clear tail lights on my 05 DB9 yesterday. The indicator lights and all other lights worked fine when testing them.

I went for a drive today and got a warning message about my left indicator light. It flashes but erratically with no rhythm. Is this the software issue that people talk about or am I looking at something else more serious here?
I have no issues with the right-hand side lights or the other lights on the left. Just the left indicator.
