Silvatec help.

[.Steve]

Getting some silvatec bulbs to replace side lights/indicators.

I'm sat looking at the website for the place I'm buying them from. they have 3 types: Side repeater, offset pin, opposite pin.

Side repeaters are side repeaters, so that's fine. But what I need to know is for my indicators do I need offset or opposite pin?

thanks,

Steve.

Side repeaters are W5W/501 IIRC
and for the front/rear indicators its offset pin you're after

For a mk2 yes not sure if it's the same on mk3s.

Good point, didn't notice that

Best bet is to look at your current bulbs and see what pin set they are, then go from there.

Ebay does a lot cheaper ones too and ive found them to be satisfactory, £2.50 odd a set.

Bought them today. Bloke on the till did a quick check and believes they're offset pins. So got those, and said if they don't fit he'll give me what I need.

How do the side repeaters come off on a mk3? Stuck on or pins?
