Silver visions help

[shanedavison28]

Bought some cheapy silver visions off ebay (after hearing they were good) for £4.75 couple weeks ago and fitted them today. They dont flash no where near bright enough during the day for other drivers to see so I have asked for a refund.

Does anyone else have these cheapy ones and what do they think of them? (I obviously think they are s**t)

And are the phillips ones on ebay any better then the cheapy ones? They are £15 and thinking of just buying them instead.

Thanks in advance

Phillips ones are good, i've got them in mine.

Silvertec are another brand that are meant to be ok too.

EDIT: See here for Phillips Silvervision http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=69

Cheers are they as bright as the standard bulbs when they flash? Worried they might just be the same brightness as the cheapy ones.

ive got silvatec front indicators and they flash as bright as standard ones id say but i never really compared them side by side

I am probably just going to spend a bit more and get phillips ones still only £15. I changed one bulb and put the hazards on to check the difference.

I would say they are the same if not brighter tbh. It must be the silver reflective coating making them appear brighter :approve:

Only £13.09 with free delivery on that link i posted, i've used them before with no problems

Yeh 13.09 with delivery is a good price. I will go with them! Thanks

paid peanuts for my ones and worried at first as people were just pulling out on me at roundabouts, compared them to the originals and they are infact brighter so no problems

obviously quality increases with price

 

[JamesBryan]

You get what you pay for, as they say
