Clear Front Repeaters

Post by James0121 »

Hi there

i ordered some clear front repeaters the other day but i forgot to ask if i needed orange bulbs. Are the bulbs in my mk4 clear at the mo and just give amber shine as a result of the reflectory bit ?

They should be supplied with appropriate bulbs when you get 'em. Normally orange ones, for that smashing "fried-egg" look :lol:

If your standard front repeaters are all-orange in appearance then they'll probably have white bulbs inside IIRC. Better check on that one, I'm not 100% sure :|

once you get the bulbs if they are orange they look a bit crap behind clear lenses.. you might want to get some silvervision bulbs.

They're silver coated glass which are 'hidden' behind the clear lense but will flash orange. :wink:

Yep, you can get the silvervision bulbs from pretty much any car parts store, even bigger halfrauds stores! About £15-20 and they look ace 8)
