    Silver coverd brake light bulbs?

    Right been looking for the red brake light bulbs that are finished in silver..
    i can get the orange ones easy, But only found the red ones on www.tuning.co.uk but there £4+ each..

    Does anyone know where to find them cheaper?

    Why dont you go for LED cluster bulbs instead m8 we have some ultra bright ones in stock in either single filament or dual filament (stop / tail ) type. We can do these at £9.99 a pair + delivery to migweb and they`ll out perform any silver coated type bulbs your gonna find and they light up in a tenth of a second just liken ew bmw mercedes audi all use.

    Pm me if you need more info.

    Not the newer ones, they have leds to project the light towards the reflectors.

    I'm also looking for some of these, but I have the offset pins and can't find them anywhere, not even the red bulbs. I can't use leds in mine, the new Astra's get a bit upset if you fit leds in the lights.

    I've got a set of these bad boys somewhere. A bit brighter than normal bulbs, also a lot more red, less orangey. Awesome all round. Had a lot of stuff from UltraLEDs, never had a problem with them.

    Can still only see opposite pins in red bulbs. I have amber ones for the indicators but can't find silver red ones.
    I've got clear Irmscher lights for the VXR but the red showing through kinda spoils the effect.

    'Silver Spec' 12v bulb with a single 21w filament. The bulb glass has a silver outer coating but when lit, shows an amber light. The locating pins in this bulb are are the same height as each other but are offset. Used for indicator lamps
    Any good?

    No, they are the amber ones which I already have in the indicators. I'm after silver ones that light up red for the tail, brake and foglights.
