Why not just get the 47532 which are Amber?

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I'm not sure if you can get a Philips \"Silvervision\" globe to suit.

They look silver but flash orange.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they're too big to fit into the sockets. Even the 47526's were a real tight squeeze (I heard more than a few awful-sounding "craaacks" when I forced mine in - globes held up ok though).

Where can you get the Philips globes from?

I got mine from Coventry.

There's 2 different brands they stock that do the same thing, one has a slight blue tint, the other a slight brown tint, both flash orange.

Not sure about NB but with NA models 47532 are a huge bulb to put in there as they are a 20mm wedge and will not fit the OEM 10mm base.

That is why I suggest the Narva 47526BL

Yay, I have clear front indicators now :)

Just need to find a way to change those reflectors on the front bar and those awful round indicators on the front guards

Wait for the condensation to go away and then reseal them. Silastic, whatever.

Water must be getting in.

Hahaha, this is why we women keep you boys about :P lol...

I hate to give a bad name to feminisim, but as much as I love and enjoy my car (and no I dont think I drive like a girl) when it comes to doing anymore then putting petrol in it, I usually have to pay for the services of someone who knows what they are doing :oops: or put to work the men folk in my life... Unlces, Brothers, Ex-boyfriends :lol: lol

Will be priniting the "de-structions" out to show my Uncle and see if he feels like tinkering on my behalf. Its a known fact boys like to tinker ! I dont like the process, Im only after the result! :mrgreen:
