[cliovicky]

Just about to buy some silvatec bulbs from K Tec racing, it gives me two options offset pin and straight pin?? which ones will fit my 03 plate 172 ?

Thanks

 

[cliovicky]

Have a gander on ebay.

Theres a few on there quite cheap too.

Also a few sets of silvervision ones too

 

[cliovicky]

do i need the offset pin? i am just looking on there now £8.99 !! i was just about to pay £19 from K Tec

 

[DennisV6]

Not sure.

I think for the indicators its just normal pin.

Seem to be fairly cheap on there.

Even cheaper http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&catref=C6&satitle=silvatec+bulbs&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3&sadis=200&fpos=SN77UP&ga10244=10425&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=

Any chance you can let me know what there like if you get them.

Thinking about getting some myself.

Cheers

offset pin you want!

well mine were

 

[V1NNY]

yeah offset i think, also have a look at philips silvervision and osram diadem

silvervisions are a lot better than oe but they still have a hint of orange!

My Silvervision install : http://s130967247.websitehome.co.uk/clio/clio_silvervisions/

Its true you still have a tint of orange with the Silvervisions but anything more than 2-3 metres away and you cant notice this, as you can see in the photos the remaining "orangeness" is that bad close up anyway although it is still there.

Got my bulbs this week from Ebay, they look great ! really pleased with them they were dirt cheap aswell wasnt sure at first whether to get them or not as they were only £6.00. I just dont see the point in paying like £15 for some bulbs! i am really impressed with these and the look is better. I will take some pics when i get the chance

Silvertec arn't as good quality!

I got ones from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8039994881&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT

I would never normally recommend halfords for anything apart from getting ripped off. But I did get some silver indicator bulbs from Halfords for a few pounds. They looked silver, no orange at all and they flashed orange, not some funny white colour or similar. I would definitely recommend them. I don't think I paid more than £5 for a pair of side repeater bulbs.

 

[beatjunkie]

halfrauds sell em for a steal at £14.99, oh my!!they are for 380 bulbs or 382's

 

[BRUN]

380 bulbs are twin filament, why would they be silver/orange ?

 

[HILLY]

ive got them on my clio if you want to see them ?

 

[Blue4Ever]

Can I put silvervisions on my 1.4sport? If so, offset or straight pin?

The car has the double optic headlights like on the 172 mk2 ph1

 

[cliovicky]

Mine are offset dont know if yours will be the same i have an 03 plate 172 with xenon lights

I have the same ones !
i know they are not as good quality but who cares i could have three sets of these for the price of the silvervisions! there only bulbs at the end of the day
