Not a monumental post but I hadnt seen any other pictures of these yet so here you go.

Before:





Take one set of these:





Et viola :









I did take a shot of the whole rear, but it didnt come out very well. I will try again later if I get a chance.

Thats the easy bit done....

For a full size pic, copy/paste the address and add '.orig.jpg' to the end.

Cheers

The silverFUSION website (here) says that:

our bulbs are 'E' marked and are all completely road legal
...so I would hope that they would be ok.

Here are a couple of shots in the fading light with no flash:

Hi there,

I put the same bulbs to my STi front turn signals after I had remove the ugly orange plastic triangles...

Looks really much better either ) (sorry for pic sizing, but this is the only one I have on the net).

I removed mine this morning with the help of Steve Sherwen,

We removed the headlights and stripped off all lamps and wiring, and then poped them in the oven on gas mark 1 for 10 mins,

Then we prized the lense off and removed the orange wedge

Im off out to refit them to the car and ill take some piccy and post them

Hi mates,

Sorry for the late answering but I was gone for a track week-end

No oven involved in this, but I recognise we had some very hot summer days this year in south France and that was a great assistance to "unstick" the plastic cover.

Philgr gave all explanations in the meantime, so that everybody knows the secret now

I will insist about one thing : make sure you adjust and re-stick it perfectly so that no moisture can get inside...
