Bulbs for Clear Rear Lights

[S7JGW]

Anyone else got the clear rear lights, if so what kind of bulbs are you using and where did u get them from?
I currently have chrome look bulbs from mini sport but some of my friends say they're quite dull and when braking look orange instead of red.
Any advice on type of bulbs and where to get them would be helpful

Read this thread on Mini2 (http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84288&highlight=clear+rear+light+bulbs)


There are heaps of other threads on Mini2 about this as well

we can supply from stock if you like:p

Can you get them all as individual bulbs now Ian? You used to have buy the full PCB as the brake light bulb was not EU certified as a component on its own. Last I heard it was due for certification - that was about 6 months ago. The whole PCB was quite expensive which is why most people desoldered the bulbs and got replacement after market ones.

If you can get all three seperate now can you provide part numbers and prices please :D

Still not as bright as the standard bulbs and lenses but definately a lot more red compared to the orange/red that the first ones had.

[MartinSullivan]
