Hi there,
Just a quick one, in the indicators, main ones at the front (not the side repeators) are the bulbs a Bayonet style fitting or capless/wedge ones??? I guess they are removed from behind the wheelarch liner? Many thanks. ![]() |

Aaahhh, soon everything becomes clear, i was assuming (wrongly obviously) that the bulbs were accessed from behind the unit, and the removal of the uit was going to be a ballache.
I should have known the Germans would make it straightforward ![]() Thanks for the replys peeps ![]() ![]() |

![]() Cant believe i have been looking at her for 5 + weeks , and it only dawned on me last night that it still had orange indicator bulbs ![]() Oh the shame of it, anyway, all silver now, ![]() ![]() So i have sourced some PIAA ones which should do the trick. Though when they came the other day, the company i bought them from ,"Upgraded" my order for the filament ones to ~LED~ ones as a christmas freebie, not often you end up swearing about a freebie upgrade. ![]() ![]() |

Where did you get your silver indicator bulbs from mate ? Do they make that much difference ?? Got any pics ?
Did do the white side light ones / blue white from SSDD motorsport and looks better than the yellow std look ![]()

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165688 Not all the smaller Halfrauds carry them, usually the bigger stores with a Ripspeed store inside. They make an instant difference, look at any of the front end shots of this car http://www.cslregister.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1095 when the bulbs are in the indicators are just pure white/clear rather than fried egg look. The sidelight bulbs, when they eventually tuen up are PIAA ones, they allegedly give a Xenon look light, to match the mains.Just got them from an E bay shop. Cheers ![]() |

I bought some chrome ones initially, but they looked too 'bluey' when the sun hit them, so I had a quick look at my E90 and discovered they're more silver looking - almost invisible. Same fitment too. Chrome bulbs ![]() E90 bulbs ![]() Can get some square on shots 2mro of E90s if you want. |

Mine are silvertec ones, they are chrome finish, and silver throughout, no blue visible at all.
Cant think why yours gave a bluey look, basically if they were chrome finish, then at no point could/would they look bluey, as per the pic you posted? bizarre. |
