red rears,will i need different indicator bulbs?

[magpie]

i know these aren't mhw but at the price it's worth a go,
will i need a pair of yellow bulbs?

[ImysE30]

Just swap them for a standard set come MOT time?

I've heard you can use 'green bulbs' that will in turn flash orange

i shall be keeping the ones of my car for the mot and stored with all the other parts i've removed from it.

anyone tried it?

how they look on a cab imy

[ImysE30]

I want to get a set now that i have seen stevemed's

I'm tempted to spray my one's but prefer getting another set of lights

[konfuzion]

I've never had a problem with mine Magpie. Been "followed" by a few ol' bill, even got stopped the other week and whilst having 'the chatâ„¢', had my hazards on, again no comment.. and it got no questions at all come MOT time a few months ago (was a bit sceptical when I took it as the fella who tests them isn't the most lenient of people).

Standard bulbs with about 4 layers of tint (no clear lacquer) on the lenses.

I had them on mine for a while - until I realised standard ones actually looked better.

I just had the full council-spec red flashing indicators (& never had any problems), but the proper way round it is to swap the indicator and reverse light connections over.

does the reverse light feed have more watts?

All on the same output.

Mic I would thought full blacks like I had on my cab would be nicer than reds.

[magpie]

i do like full blacks and they were my 1st choice [thought]

but for £13.50 these have a home for now.

green LED indicator bulbs will make the red lens flash amber.

[magpie]

Nothing to do with how powerful it is; red reverse lights don't matter for the MOT, so you might as well use the remaining clear section for the indicators!

Both red and black rears look good. Red suites more cars but black looks on certain E30s.

I'd want some MHW ones. Best of both worlds, just costs a mint...

[ImysE30]

Be sure to post up some pic's when you've fitted them Mick

[magpie]

they arrive today and i missed them so a trip down the post depot tomorrow to get them.
