Mine has a metal "bowl" behind the headlight ( if memory serves ). A hangover from the Series vehicles which didn't have a wheel arch liner and needed protection from stones.

Bruce.

last night the other front left indicator stopped working, will pull the headlight out first and have a look, will drop into tjm and pick up a new indicator for the bar as well

opted for removing the flare as i had another look at the mess of the wiring through the indicator hole and thought i would have better access, this would also allow me to better protect the uhf antenna cable

16 little plastic studs to remove and yep you bugger them pulling/cutting/levering them out, will have to track some down tomorrow. there are two sizes of plugs as well.

fixed the wiring up, got the main indicator working and put some protection around the antenna cable.

priced a replacement indicator assembly from tjm, $45 for a pair, they do not sell them as singles. they have 'made by tjm' on them so i'm not sure if there would be a hella or other brand that will fit, will research some more
