Beavis Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Got round to just fitting my front indicator silver lamps and i am concerned at how much duller these are in operation. They look way better than the standard orange one's but i am concerned about their lack of brightness What are other members experience's of fitting these and opinions? Quote
martinmac Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Definately seems to be dimmer Dave. Not heard of this one before. Quote
Stew Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Hmmm. Marked difference. Should be fine on the open road. Just get your lad to drive it up the road with the indicator on and have a look..... Quote
Beavis Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Definately seems to be dimmer Dave. Not heard of this one before. They are Martin a lot dimmer, just concerned about the safety aspect of them and the repercussions if i was involved in an accident. Quote

I reckon it'll get brighter with use. Beat of heat in it! Quote
shire350Z Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 depends which make of ones you'v got dave?!!! iv got silvertec ones front, rear and side repeaters and there just as bright more expensive than non-discrips but my mate had some cheap ones on his and they were dimmer and the silver perished on the bulb Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Silvertecs on mine and cant say I noticed.... With the new setup I dont think anyone can say they didnt see me!! Quote
Beavis Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Best place to get the silvertec lamps guys Quote
scottsoulby Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 ive fitted mine today, and i agree they are alot dimmer, i bought mine from JDM performance, not sure if there is a wattage difference or because of the silver layer Quote

Very happy with them though and put them on the back to Will live with them for the moment and i think i will order some more, these were not from JDM but off someone from here who i cant remember. They do look much better though i must admit. Quote
scottsoulby Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 the ones from JDM are the ULTRA bulbs, nobodys gave me the finger yet so im guessing there ok Quote
