LED indicator bulbs

[silverfox_clio]

i have just bought some blue led indicator bulbs for the car but was unsure after whether they would be legal, they will be going in clear repeaters. help needed as i dont want to get done over if they are illegal.

Do they flash orange? Then no probs they are legal. I have blue diadem indicators. Look blue but flash orange when indicator is working!

Like carina says , if they flash orange they should be ok . If they flash any other colour you'll get bummed by the coppers .

they cant flash orange if they are 'blue' LED indicators. therefor they are illegal.

If thats the case, then i would recommend silver fox if you want that blue look, get some blue diadem indicators.

They are off set pins so fit 90% of cars - what car you got?

Aah mine came with those blue-vision type things when I first got it... Swiftly took them out

Why did you take them out? Did you swap them with just plain orange ones?

Yep orange ones went back in Didn't think the blue ones suited a silver car! I don't think they were terribly bright either.

got a mk1 the bulbs im refering to is the side inidators i.e. wing inidctaors not the front ones, they have brighter bulbs in anyway.

Ah i get ya now - i have a blue car :rasp: so thought they looked good

Im thinking of changing the side panel indicators to a silver diadem too - cos the orange looks odd!

what a stupid question, take a look around...

- Indicators are orange
- Brake lights, rear sidelights and rear foglights are red
- Reversing lights are white (as, FYI, headlights should be)
- front foglights are white (and illegal to use if there is no reduced visibility)

anymore questions? just let us know...!
