I ripped my hands to shreds yesterday getting one out to have a look at it. Never have I seen such an over engineered solution to a problem that doesn't exist in the first place. It makes a £3 bulb cost £18, and the only thing I can think of it is makes the wiring loom easier to install at factory as there are less major sized connectors on it. £36 for two indicator bulbs from BMW is a joke.
I want to do his mod, but there's an element of principle that leaves me thinking if I buy I accept and will perpetuate VAGs decision to think charging these kind of figures is ok. I'm sure I could do something more useful with £36. The ****** fogs which are big H11's are only £24 a pair [/rant mode off]!
Aww Warren, hope your fingies aren't scarred for life . I was able to remove them no probs, but you are 100% correct about over-engineering on the bulb itself. What a piece of nonsense! You know, I think I've made up my mind that I am NOT going to fuss about doing this mod after all, seeing the fitted results on the pics posted above. Those lenses still look pretty orange to me and the difference the bulbs make is certainly not worth the expense, ..to me anyway. If I can get some cheap ones, I may give them a go, ..but otherwise, my fried eggs will remain xx
Said it before and i will say it again........The idea of making your number plate even more visible goes against my principles Next thing you will be illuminating your tax disc's.
Hehe, ..Pad, it's all about the crisp white LED glow! It's not about keeping your reg a secret from Mr or Mz Fuzz, lol! xx
