Side marker bulbs
Discussion
Do people still have the old style lights ? 
I've got some somewhere you can have, bog standard unipart. PM a address and I'll drop them in the post
interesting anorak fact spotted by 'superb' on sunday all the cars on the right handside of the car park had clear lenses/silver bulbs where as those on the left had OE

PM sent thanks 
Yep I still have the orange ones sans bulb. Not sure why no bulbs as other cars have side markers lit up on the road. Maybe it’s a European thing
. And I though they would be pretty standard so was a bit surprised by the reaction I got trying to buy them.
The clear ones look good on yours but I’m not convinced on the blue/white unless they look naff when lit up.

I have them on my blue/white and think they look good? Haven't bothered wiring in the bulbs though - just blanked off the hole with silver foil
a couple of extra bulbs won't add that much weight Graham
The bulbs/or wires (if your unlucky) are removed for the SVA. Bulbs are in the post Dave

12v 5w capless bulb is a 501. Also available in silver finish but that illuminates orange, useful for those clear lights. Another tip for the real anorak (like me )is to remove the orange lens from the "in headlight" front indicators and fit silver bulbs.....does away with those nasty orange round bits and looks generally cooler !!
Bulbs arrived in one piece, thanks again Neil.
Yeah I was pretty shocked when they couldn’t help, maybe they were as well but there was not a ‘what’s it for?’ or anything just tap tap tap on the computer and a no. Supposed to be one of the biggest suppliers in the south, but I suppose Saturday afternoon was not a good time.
Anyway the viper will be getting a treat at the weekend I’ll fit the bulbs at the same time as the VEC 1 I just brought from Ray. There’s got to be at least 10 hp extra from each bulb I reckon
plus whatever the VEC can do.

Has anyone else noticed that if you have the headlights on and indicate the side markers flash alternate to the indicators.
The examiner had a double take but said nothing. I guess letting them drive it rather than put it on the break rollers was enough to get it through.
