Who's got them in their headlights? What make? How much? And do they pull up a warning light on the dash?

Silver Indicator Bulbs
- Thread starter VRSLOZ
- Start date
I used to have some in my old Cavalier, they were exactly the same as normal bulbs but with a silver finish. They weren't LED bulbs, so no warning light. They looked good on clear indicators though, no 'fried egg' look.
I can't remember where I got them from, I suspect it might have been Halfrauds. But you're talking many years ago in my wasted youth...

Bulbs are bulbs, they won't bring up a warning light - The reason that LED bulbs bring up a warning light is that there isn't much resistance across an LED c/w a bulb element, so the car doesn't think there's a bulb there/ the element is blown and it brings on the warning light.
I was going to say it's only LED bulbs that cause the warning to come on, the silver bulbs are bog standard filament bulbs. No problems at all.
They're designed for use with clear indicator lenses. If you use a traditional orange bulb, you end up with an orange centre inside the clear indicator lens, hence the 'fried egg' look. A silver bulb maintains the clear effect, but still lights orange when required.
Both front and side indicators can benefit from the silver bulbs, the rear clusters are normally multicoloured so there's no point in using them there.
Halfords must've realised we were all gonna buy them, they £11.99 now
Lol I had a voucher
Make sure the pins are 120 degrees apart, NOT the 180 deg ones!!
Nice cheap mod that makes all the difference to thelights. Now, get the back ones done
