After the body shop replaced my front indicator they put back a standard orange bulb and not a silver vision! :mad:

What did I do? Slight spray of silver paint over it - works wonders!!!! :bannana:

There is a universal primer that bonds paint to anything. Goes on clear, dries in an hour and retains the strength of the chemmical bond. Saves having to touch up the paint.

I dont know the name but next time i am in the garage I will write it down.

Done the same mod to my bulbs about a year ago - used thin layer of "plastic decoration paint" - 99p from the "cheapie" bin in halfords.

Dealership replaced one of my front bulbs in germany though for some reason, so I have one orange and one silver now - need to get around to sorting that !!

what's the deal with silver bulbs? Silly question perhaps, but what's the difference?
