Philips Bulbs - WY21W from Power Bulbs

Philips, Osram and PIAA are all good. The Silvatec ones are rubbish as noone will see you indicate on a bright day. I nearly got rear-ended many times when I had them. I changed them for LED's which were superb (and really trick ) but in my Fabia I now have the Philips and they're fine.

Recently bought some PIAA indicator ones that look silver, but flash orange - cost £22.50 off fleabay, but look the danglies. Might be a bit more expensive than some of the others, but TBH they are a bugger to fit, so get good ones and they should last for ages....
