Removing Fogsm and Silver Indicator Bulbs

Featured Replies

Can you just unplug your fogs? Will it cause any dash warnings?

...and can someone link me to an eBay auction selling the chrome/silver indicator bulbs please? Philips something I believe?

Why are they so expensive?

Why they got to be Philips?

I got 2.99 ones all round and they work fine.

Cannot send you eBay link, i'm on phone but there's hundreds on there. Cheap as chips.

I got some cheapies from Ebay and the chrome had scrapped off a little bit on one bulb (presumably in transit). The silver/blue indicator bulbs in Halfords are Osram Diadems bunged in a Halfords branded box. Worth buying those if you have a trade card.

Edit: actually this seems a better buy than Halfords even with trade card http://www.amazon.co.uk/BAU15S-OSRAM-Diadem-Indicator-7507LDA/dp/B004L0MCME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309995811&sr=1-1

I bought some silver indicator bulbs from ebay last year for £3 IIRC and they are pretty orange and passed MOT last year no probs.

Here you go Luke.

I've had these in for two years now.

No deterioration of the silver coating so far.

Passed 2 mots (even with part tinted rears)

Whatever you buy make sure the bulbs have the off set

pins.

they are out of stock! :( and will these fit all round front and back?

yeah bulbs are the same front and rear.

I've got Philips Silver ones. See pics in this thread.

You've been (de-) Tango'd!

The Osram Diadems are slightly cheaper, but from what I've seen, when off have a bluish colour, which I'm wasn't keen on. Both of these flash orange, I think they are slightly less intense than standard ones (as expected), but perfectly OK in bright sunlight, also are E-marked so should be perfectly legal. If you buy cheap bulbs from fleBay may not be bright or e-marked. I have read on some forums that 'Silvatec' Bulbs can not be seen in bright daylight.

I'd also recommend you buying the bulbs from PowerBulbs.com I've used them a few times and got great service from them. If you do a search, you may find a 10% discount code. As a freedom member I think you get 15% off.

I have the Philips Silvervision front and rear and it looks so much better emoticon-0148-yes.gif
