Couple of Questions

Hello all, haven't posted in a while, hope all is well.
1: Does anyone have a spare hazard warning light switch knocking about? I need to buy a new one, as I was taking my instrument cluster out to change some bulbs and snapped it, so currently have no hazards
2: I understand that the probe shares suspension with the MX-6, but is there any other makes / models that will fit ? All 4 of my shocks are kaput, so i'm basically riding on (Very cheap) springs at the moment and the ride is terrible. Looking at
this coilover kit, but it seems to be the only one in existence that i could find for a probe. Any other alternatives ?
3: Does anyone by chance have a set of
US Spec headlights covers ? I'm tempted to just fabricate a set of my own using sheet metal, a spare set of UK headlight covers and a welder / grinder, but an OEM set would be better and easier.
4: My clutch is getting very low and I expect I'll need fit a new one at some point. Any pointers as to where to find a viable replacement would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Answers to your questions
1 Kit is probabaly your best option for one of those
2 Yes, the Mazda 626GE it has to be the GE, but there are also some wheels off of other cars that fit
3 Again Kit might have some or maybe CPT Black, or you can try Rockauto
4 Ebay or Rockauto, look for either Probe or MX6

What colour are they? Would the US covers not just fit on the UK spec lights? would I have to change the whole assembly?

You normally have to make some adjustments to the slots in the covers, I would post up in the wanted section.

The lids are white yes you can mod the old units but the plastic shrouds are longer
for the USA lids
not that you would see once closed
you also need the bumper
infill under headlighs but not visible when closed
