Silvertec Bulbs ?!?


FUG

Recommended Posts

anyone purchased and fitted these??

the little nibs are too big for a snug fit into the 350z bulb holder - dont get that click and they stick out a bit (work fine but dont really like leaving them half hanging out incase they drop into headlamp)

 

are these the wrong bulbs (silvertec fakes??) or is slight modification needed? (i have tried brute force)

 

the packaging was also different to these silvertec bulbs off a proper mds website http://www.performancecreations.co.uk/s ... -675-p.asp

 

little nibs as in bottom left corner are larger on the 'silvertec' bulbs compared to the nibs on the original and so do not click into the holder properly - wrong bulbs or diy needed??

 

sorry to keep reposting this - currently have the bulbs out and looking for quick answer before it gets dark!!

not sure whether to try modifying the bulbs, perhaps filing the nib down to fit (kinda tricky with the glass bulb) and not sure whether to try get refund. Might even just spray the originals silver, least I know they will fit then!!

Hmm they seemed bright enough once plugged in but were otuside the light unit at that point. The packet says they are not e- marked but there is clearly an E mark on the actual bulb (E8 i think from memory although not sure what EU country that is meant to represent :wacko: ) - legal or not??

Having trawled the forum and finally decided to go for silvatec i have one question about indicator bulbs in general;

 

How have I ended up buying these:

When I should have bought these:

???

 

Have I totally missed something or is there two variants?

 

I used various websites, putting in my reg# and I keep getting told 581 Offset pin type indicator bulbs but they are blatantly meant to be the BU582 T20 Capless Wedge type. Normally I can work this stuff out but I'm really stuck :wacko::wacko: lol

 

Cheers

 

For ref its a '53 plate
