I dont have any fitted yet but I have heard that the Silvertec bulbs are useless. Orsam have been given good praise so thats probably the way to go.

I thought my silvatec bulbs looked ok only issue I had is the life of them had one go in less than six months was looking at the osram myself so would also be interested in Antibes opinions on them

Silvatecs in mine seem ok, how did you go about removing the orange bit of plastic in the light? through the back or heat them up and split them.

silvatecs look pretty good just dont think they shine up enough also they look more red than orange surely these dont pass mot?? anyways how we went about de tangoeing my lights was remove the bulbs got a plastic bit of tube put it inside the orange bit in the light got a hammer and gave the plastic stick a whack(not to hard) then they just popped off so then got some long nosed plyers and began to gradully brake it up it takes a little patience but wasnt too bad once most of it is broken up tried pulling out what we could with plyers and then just hooverd out the rest of the little bits job done didnt fancy risking heating them up as might not seal properly again

I thought osram diadems only came in the offset pin arrangement, when we need straight pin set up like on a stop bulb.
I wanted diadems, but couldn't find ones with a straight pin set up!

How i did mine, just wondering how others were going about it, mine passed MOT with the silvatecs.
