Quickie: Philips SilverVision - fit straight on?

Postby wywywywy on Wed Aug 06, 2003 1:32 am

Hi all,

Basically I bought a pair of aftermarket clear front indicator lenses but I forgot to buy orange bulbs. Then I saw these so very nice Philips SilverVision indicator bulbs on Powerbulbs.com.

http://www.powerbulbs.com/products/prod ... v&type=IND

So, in short, do they fit straight on?
If not... what size/fitment should I look for?

Many thanks.

I have these, so do lots of other ppl on here and yes they are a straight swap for standard PY21W bulbs :D

Thanks a lot :D
I'm gonna order some right now...

I said "aftermarket" but I don't really if it is a Ford or an aftermarket... I bought it on eBay for 12 quid. But as far as I know... the proper Ford one has some sort "orange inserts" which makes a fried egg look...

And thanks I of course know about the "cool blue" :)

Genuine Ford clear front indicators don't have orange inserts in them.....

The one's I got didn't have the lugs opposite each other and I had to cut one off to fit them in my back lights. :rolleyes:

But then I have a Mk2. :D
