the V6 was reluctant to let the old ones go both in terms of accessibility and just getting the damn things out but here are the results at last

silvatech indicator bulbs get rid of that awful orange that most car manufacturers seem to like fitting with clear indicators. the old ones were badly flaked anyway so were illegal in my opinion

ultra power headlight bulbs come in capped 4w sidelights and headlight/main beams to complete the look. unfortunately i have yet to find a set for the foglights. they do give a nice blue tint to the headlamps which is an individual look and the light given is a nice crisp white with a hint of blue

sidelights (this is a perfect example of why sidelights serve no purpose while driving)

halfords do sell silvatech bulbs but the independant shop i went to supplied all of these bulbs and a hell of a lot cheaper than halfords sell even standard replacment bulbs. halfords wanted over £20 EACH for an upgraded headlight bulb. i think i paid something like £15 for the pair

i have been shopping again and asked about the fog lights. they do supply H3 bulbs in the Ultra power range but are currently out of stock. how much of a pain are they going to be to fit?
