I got mine from www.powerbulbs.com, they sent a pair of philips bluevision sidelights for free with them

 

Do the Philips indicators fit? Doesn't mention that they are bayonet offset anywhere unless I'm going blind???? Quite like the idea of something free too :hyper:

 

let me know if they work caz, as i am after a set too.

BTT

Will do Deano. Only really noticed when I was washing the car on Saturday just how pants the orange lights look. Can't afford to do big mods with my shopping trip to Toronto coming up so this will satisfy my modding bug until June :sad2:

 

Intersting on the powerbulds site, the Phillips silver vision does not list any MG as being suitable, and the Osram has no guide to suitability. However, since they are standard offset bayonet indicators I guess they should be fine.

Philips Silver vision spcification are listed as : 581 12V 21W Silver Vision on autobulbsdirect.co.ok and priced at £13.50

Does this mean there might be some cheap Philips vison bulbs for sale in a month or so? Sorry if it sounds like a vulture hovering, but if you don't ask ...

 

erm yeah sure you can have them if you like but really will it be worth the effort for a couple of quid? hehe

 

Fitted the ones from powerbulbs.com and they look great.deelunn is right though,you do need really small hands to gain access(no sniggering there at the back).They still come with the free philips bluevision sidelights,so a good bargain to be had.

 

I guess thats the question answered lol. They do indeed fit. I didnt think there was any other type of indicator bulb than the ones we have :err:

Did you fail to notice the female in the corner who posted the question?

I managed to get the front indicators out so I presume I have fairly small hands as must most of the blokes in work who compared hand sizes with me one day and were amazed how big mine were (hands that is :shake: ). Will order the bulbs tomorrow once I make sure my pay has cleared.

Thanks for all the help guys and I'll post some pics when I'm done.

Actually I sit with 3 top blokes. One is like a father (his son was my ex's best mate at school), one is like a brother and one is like that pervy uncle who turns up at weddings :rotflmao: We have great craic mainly due to the fact that I'm treated like one of the lads so there are no boundaries for how crude the jokes can be!!!

Andy, which main beam bulbs did you order?
I dont think the ones in the link you posted earlier will fit.

The specified bulbs for the TF are HB3A (equivalent is 9005X/S)
The bulbs you have oredered are 9005 (HB3).
The difference is, that on the 9005 (HB3), the wire connection is at right angles to the bulb, whereas on the 9005X/S (HB3A) it is in-line with the bulb, so having A or X/S on the end of the part number is V important.

I hope Powerbulbs have a good returns policy

The other pair (H1's?) should be OK though

Cheers for the heads up

If thiers is anything like the one Halfords use, its not worth the paper its written on :lol:
The actual connetor is the same on both, so you should be able to connect it, but I just dont think the right angle bit will fit into the lamp unit or under the cover on the back of the light (worth a try though).
Think this is the reason not many peeps have upgraded thier TF's bulbs, as IIRC very few 'performance' bulbs are available in the 9005X/S (HB3A) fitment as its not very common.

 

Hi Guys,

I got mine from R-tec (St. Albans) for £10 a pair. And just to confrim you need offset ones.

Also got the rickbrook arieal at the same time.

 

... I bet you nick peoples staplers in your office when they go on holiday as well

Why wait until they go on holiday? :idea:

Sent an e-mail Power Bulbs this morning about this, Just got phone call saying that the fitment on the bulbs is completly different between 9005 & 9005X/S. so they would not fit. also said that he only know of Jeep using these bulbs, so there is no chance of Phillips making this bulb in the future oh well at least he did not send them just for me to return.

So thanks Steve your knowledge saves me again

 

well i am now de-oranged looks alot better, they have sent me the wrong low beam bulbs though, they sent me H7's but i needed H1's should get new ones on saturday. so if anyone knows what H7's fit could you let me know ?. the side light look alot better to they a white light not yellow like the OE bulbs. so thanks to Caz for putting the idea in my head
