Silvertech indicator bulbs - tucpal - 28:th-Mar-2014



Just fitted some Silvertech Indicator Bulbs.

The Silvertech have a Mirrored Finish to the Bulb so they Do not look Orange
in the Unit for the Indicators and Fogs at the front.

Here are the Silvertech Bulbs



They are made by Phillips and are very good
there an Extract match for the Original
but much Better Looking with the Mirrored Finish  
here is the old Orange Bulb and the Silvertec Side by Side
so you can see the Difference.



Here are a Few Pictures of the Original Orange Bulb
in the Unit you can see how Orange they look.







And Here are the Silvertechs
they look so much Better in the Unit
they do not have an Orange Tint at all.









Absolutely a top Product here Does Exactly what is says it does
Remove the Orange Tint from the Light Unit
they look so much Better i am Really Happy with them
they are Error Free also
and they are Nice and Bright.

To fit the Bulbs on the Pre Face Lift Astra j is some what Tricky
you can get your Hand up to the Connector and get the Bulb out and Back in
but it is very, very, Tight
but it is Possible but some what Tricky.



To show you How the Clips etc comes off and Goes back on
on the Pre Face Lift i took the Front Bumper off
to get some better Pictures.

STEP ONE.......

Remove the white Connector
And Press the Tab on the Top of the Connector
and Pull it out.



STEP TWO.......

Push down on the Squire Clip on the Right Hand Side
and Pull the Clip away.





STEP THREE.........

Simply pull out the Bulb
Note it only Goes back in One way
And Refit in Reverse.



The Face Lift is much Easier to get Access to the Bulbs
so you will not have much of a Problem at all
if you have the Newer fog units.

Very happy with the out come
A Very good Product.

Pretty sure they are the indicator bulbs you get on the GTC when you have AFL's

I did prefer it, when we had orange lenses instead of these clear things with orange bulbs inside. At least it gave a bit of colour to the car.
