Silvatec Bulbs

Featured Replies

Can anyone link me or tell me what bulbs I need for my front and rear indicators? I have done an eBay search and there is a seller selling 501's as indicators which doesnt sound right.

Can anyone tell me which bulbs I need for rear number plate? autobulbsdirect show 239 and 501?! Also I want a white glowing bulb similar to the new BMW's anyone recommend a bulb to suit?

Team torque steer website and go for the fiesta st ones, they are perfect colour and have been going for a year and a half now :)

Think it's just the double you need as it says in the description that 2008 onwards focus st and RS now use the 501 so I'm assuming before that was the normal one. There wasnt that option when I ordered mine lol

Single and double being one or two bulbs obviously lol :p

Got any pictures of your bulbs fitted and turned on as the description says a cool blue... dont know if thats going to look too modified for my tastes.

I'm sure I read on one car forum that Silvertec and cheap eBay indicators can be very poor and could even be called dangerous. I read that they are not that bright when flashing and can't be seen clearly in bright sunshine.

However in the last five years Silvertec may have improved their design, to be much brighter. I still wouldn't trust unknown bulbs from fleBay though. I am happy with the Philips Silver Vision Bulbs I bought a few years ago.

My thread (with pics) here: You've been (de-) Tango'd!

My autobulbs own brand silver bulbs as linked before have all lasted

in excess of 2 years so far, are easy to see (even through tinted rears)

and have passed 2 MOTs so far. Front and rear detangoed for a tenner!

Bargain!
