Does anyone have these bulbs?
"
* Porsche Silver Bulbs Set (gets rid of the amber!) * 2 pair of bulbs: - side marker - rear turn * $23.96 These silver bulbs are the real deal! Not painted on windows. They're true chrome bulbs that flash amber when lit. Please compare with others, as well as the Sylvania and Philips bulbs that are purple! These are 100% chrome and if you're not happy - send them back to me on the house!" With a guarantee like that, I'm tempted to try them. http://www.xenonmods.com/newporschedecal.htm BEFORE: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...eforeamber.jpg AFTER: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...ftersilver.jpg |
Yes, I bought them from the same vendor. They were nice, exactly as described.
|
same here...i love it :)
same vendor and same lights.... |
my bro bought them for this box and they're great
|
Purchased from the same vendor. Bulbs are great but there customer service did not impress me. I was sent the wrong bulbs and it took waaay to long to finally receive the correct bulbs.
|
You guys who have them, did you put them all the way around? ie taillights, marker, and headlights?
|
Yup, all the way around. Also, installed a set of Silverstar headlight bulbs, which apparently don't last very long.
|
I have them on the tails and side markers. I am too fearful to do the mod on my litronic headlamps to use a soldering iron and heat up the amber inside so I can put in clear bulbs.
It really makes the rear end of the car look much nicer. |
damn, Randall your car looks so much different than your avatar picture. Very nice.
I think I'll pick up some of those chrome bulbs. What's this about a soldering iron and heating up the plastic though? |
You convinced me too. Ordering ...
|
Dont, just a light spray of high temp silver will do the same thing. Ive got it on my past 2 cars and its the exact same. Blinks orange and everything but silver outside. A light coat of paint is cheap...
|
yup i did it on my old cars, just paint the whole thing silver, and leave a little triangle on the bottom of the bulb, and it will blink orange.
cost=if you got silver paint from something else, free |

Had to make the owner look away, and close his eyes, during the operation. Next time you are in town.... |

I have them too. They look cool! :cheers:
|
I've got them in the rear only. Looks sweet
|
I have them in there rear only. They're very nice.
I too would steer clear of anything with the painted up glass + triangle of orange. The orange can still find a way to reflect at certain angles. The "clear" Sylvania (or maybe GE?) lights I bought actually appeared green-ish and blue-ish. Not cool. |
Dr. Henry has all those bulbs. All that is missing from the pic is the silver bulb that blinks amber for the side marker.
|
triangle?? wtf? Ive never painted a triangle and they still blink 100% orange. Maybe they put too much paint on, a light mist just to silver it is enough. Id say a half second burst from above and one to the sides.
|
are the rear tails easy to get at? i haven't tried to take mine out... i want to put these bulbs in though. i have upgraded 03+ tails, but I still have the orange bulbs in there and you can see a lot of orange just like that pic above...
i looked inside my rear trunk and noticed a weird round shaped thing that looked like a nut of some kind that would unscrew and then it looked like if i pulled on the carpet it might come off, but I dind't try it. is this in the manual? bulb replacement? if so - just tell me to look in teh manual! :) |
Sounds like you figured it out. The rear lights are super simple to remove. Four nuts if I remember correctly -- the weird round things you describe them.
|
Amberectomy in front, red and clears on the rear. The chrome bulbs work great; believe I have three and a half years use out of mine, thus far.
|
not to sound dumb, but this doesn't replace the amber lens right? just the amber bulb?
|
*bump*
still wondering :) |
