A little bird told me you can get bulbs that are coated silver which flash orange for the indicators. I have clear indicators on the car but that glint of orange is bugging .

Any Ideas ? where from ?

Reply, I got mine from http://www.powerbulbs.com

I had to file off one of the prongs for it to fit, but they work all the same!!

Cheers

Spoke to Ultra Auto Cosmetics (I think) who supply the cystal indicators - apparently they are producing some silver bulbs with the right pin layout - should be available about now.

Not keen Pete

Is it just an artefact of the photo, or do they really make blue/green/orange rainbow patterns round the reflector? Don't think it would suit my silver Scoob, but might be OK on a green or blue one.

These bulbs have an almost clear coating that looks a sort of bluish colour. They glow orange.

I also think they would look great on a blue or green car, but a silver car would look better with silver bulbs.
