    Was possibly thinking of changing the Front, Side and Rear indicator bulbs on my JCW.

    Does anyone know what is better Silver or Diadem bulbs?

    Also will this change make the headlight unit less like a "fried egg"?

    Yes it will get rid of the "fried egg" look, however I would steer away from the silver bulbs as they don't seem to flash bright enough, especially if you have xenons on the front. This can make them dangerous. Also the rear ones seem to get lost in the brake lights (as the indicator is in the centre)

    If you were to change them, I would go for diadem. Ok they won't "disappear" into the light when off, but the bluey tinge looks a bit different. They are also MUCH brighter than the silver.
