TheMacDaddy Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Should be one of the simplest mods you can think of, but actually is an utter pig thanks to the crazy lengths needed to get at the front and rear light clusters. The fronts require you to take the whole fascia off (which luckily I already had done as I was doing some other jobs), and the rears require you to remove virtually every panel in the boot space. Thanks Nissan! Once we have LEDs everywhere and the damn things last 20 years then by all means seal 'em in but while you still have tungsten bulbs floating around probably a good idea to make them a little more accessible. Ok, rant over, here's some surprisingly underwhelming after-shots: Quote
M13KYF Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 careful with them. police are hot on ya heels if they dont indicate orange enough, We found that out on a wales drive. The silvertec one can be dim and pale Quote

The silvertec one can be dim and pale Good to know, thanks. They look pretty good so I think I'll be okay, but definitely worth keeping an eye on. Edited February 12, 2013 by TheMacDaddy Quote
M13KYF Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 what brand are they? are they silvertec Quote
FUG Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 phillips seem to be bright enough. Or cheaper option for the rear was to spray the bulbs with silver paint Quote
TheMacDaddy Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 what brand are they? are they silvertec I tried to find them but couldn't, so got these instead: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280954746728?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Quote
FUG Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 good price, be interesting to see how they hold up Quote
TheMacDaddy Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 good price, be interesting to see how they hold up Yeah that's what I'm worried about. We shall see! Quote
Stu_2424 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 How are you getting on with these mate? Looking to buy some myself Quote
TheMacDaddy Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Should be, it's a pretty standard fitment, but don't take my word for it! Quote
stu1986 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I fitted some LED ones few months ago, left side are the silver vision bulbs I first put in the right are the LED ones lol Edit won't let me add picture :-(, why don't Photobucket pictures work :-( Edited June 22, 2013 by stu1986 Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Shame you can't get silvatecs anymore, mine lasted 2 years on my zed and still going strong i believe..... changed my sidelighrs in thd jag the other day, what a b@stard job, I had to undo 3, yes 3 nuts and the whole cluster came out Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 pmsl, you'll miss wheel arch trim rash One of the bolts is in the wheel arch but weirdly it is fully accessible with full lock nothing needs to be removed Let's hope the rest of the bulbs prove as easy Quote
stu1986 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Silvervison bulb on left LED bulb on the right lol Quote
mattross1313 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Man they are bright!! Don't suppose you have a link to the LED ones? Quote
