Indicator bulbs?

Post by **bernard1973** » 12 May 2008, 19:00

Hello!
I'm going to buy some of those chrome indicator bulbs that glow orange (for my clear lenses).
To save me having to go to the garage and take one out, does anyone know if the pins are offset or opposite?

Cheers

Let us know what bulbs you get and if they work well (got some clears I shall e fitting shortly..)

Never changed the bulbs so I didn't know! The only 2 types I can see on ebay have two pins - opposite or offset -I'll go have another look....

Nope - just took one out and it's got 2 pins (opposite). I'll get back when the chrome ones arrive...

Thats just the way of these van's eh? When I rollered my van I took off the indicators lenses and had to replace both front bulbs afterwards for same reason.

How they managed to work up to that point is a mystery.
