[tommyboy]

silvervisions from philips are the only way to go

 

[tommyboy]

I ordered mine ages ago from k-tec racing and they turned out to be phillips and looked superduper.

 

[Matt 16v]

silvervisions from philips are the only way to go

[Steve]

What did you expect for £4

 

[Matt 16v]

i expected the product they advertised...

 

[Dan Page]

i got the same from this company too!

word of warning, dont install them, they melted my rear clusters!!!! So i am on the lookout for some new ones.

 

[Matt 16v]

lol, i wasnt gonna there goin straight back to them, might make a trip to halfords to see if they sell the genuine ones

 

[matt182]

Silvervisions got mine from powerbulbs £25 and you will get a 10% discount for being a cliosport member look much better

 

[crow]

Halfords sell ones man by Ultra they make a ver high perentage of the clear lights on the market

 

[mr blue182]

you can get some silver bulbs from bmw part number 63.21.6.934.227 about £8 pounds each thay are very good quality as pur bm got them
in my 182 look mint ,also had some side flashers in orange with silver tips
look good when they flash mid stays silver + orange around the back
like a polomint .

 

[MOFO]

what exactly do these lights do, are they worth buying

 

[leighk18]

they just take the orange look out of ya bulbs they still flash orange tho ust so you dont see nasty orange bulbs

 

[TheCake]

Replace your indicators. Instead of crappy orange bulbs you get silver bulbs. Makes them blend in with the car. When you use your indicators though, they are orange. Clever stuff and real improvement.

 

[mini-valver]

I got some from a car shop down the road. £7, proper phillips and everyfink

 

[Tay]

Ive just fitted mine this evening, look good proper Philips ones from Autobulbs off tinternet

 

[John2Modified]

LOL, we have some exactly the same as them sitting here somewhere, never tried selling them

We have Silvertecs in stock though if you still need some...

 

[John2Modified]

OOps

 

[Matt 16v]

ordered some silvervisions from powerbulbs, from a hot soundin northern lass on the phone...got my 10% discount too...should have done that in the first place...

that budget silvery garbage has been shipped back to GBK recorded delivery!

 

[lewisniven]

lol, some times u speak to a girl on the phone and u know shes fit, u can just tell, lol.

 

[nathan_warduk]

got exactly the same from gbkperformance for my old ford puma, they didnt even flash proper orange lol, just like a dark yellow

 

[Stevie]

I've just had the same problem. Asked for a refund before I open a dispute

Took them 7 days to tell me they are not genuine... f**king dicks

 

[GUNN]

LMAO i ordered some off GBK and after a month they never came, after many many emails i decided to leave NEUTRAL feedback, 2 mins later i get a guy on the phone from them telling me im a f**king liar and hes gave me negative feedback! f**king idiots from there!

 

[Matt 16v]

Well i'll send them an email giving them 3 working days to give me my refund before i report them to trading standards and Silvatecs legal team, as I'm sure both parties will be very interested to see whats being passed off as geniune items, silvatec may even have a damages case against GBK if they've sold alot of these fake bulbs


in the mean time i've since recieved my silvervisions from powerbulbs and got an excellent sevice from them all round

 

[Stevie]

yup they might...

I decided to go to Halford and get some instead.

Gang of crooks you can just tell - I had to ask 3 times to get a refund the guys response was "why?" even after I told him they are not genuine!!!!!
