seem ok, but they probably won't last 2 mins!

Can't go wrong for trying at that price i suppose.

I bought my silvatecs about 18months ago, and they are still working away

Do not touch that company at all !!
I ordered two set of silvatecs from potn, at £25.00 inc delivery - when they arrived they came in a box from carisma style (who I believe also trade as sky parts) - they were utter rubbish & looked just like the cheapo ones from ebay

Apparently carisma are the main importer of the bulbs, if i'd have gone direct to carisma i'd have paid half the price of potn, but that's not the point.

The "silvatecs" they sent me were not road legal (I believe that genuine silvatecs are)

I sent them back, said how dusgusted I was & got my money back. I got some osram diadems instead they have a bit of a blue tint to them but flash orange & are fully road legal.

I'd stay away from carisma tbh.

ok
looks like its genuine silvatec for me then

dont really want the blue tint as im going for a red theme on a black car

cheers guys

Just to resurrect an old thread - i was going to order some Silvatecs from K-Tec, but they wanted £8 delivery! For some fecking bulbs! That made it £25 for some indicator bulbs which is stupid IMO.

So i've just ordered these:

Even if they're crap and only last 6 months, I can go through 6 sets for the price of the K-tec ripoff!
