ToXIcG Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 So I am wanting to replace my indicator bulbs with chrome ones and I have a few questions to ask. Firstly, are chrome indicator bulbs road legal as long as they are still amber when lit? Secondly, do the front and back indicators use the same bulbs on the MK7 Fiesta? and lastly, what do people think of the Osram Diadem Chrome bulbs? I was going to buy 2 sets for front and back and a set for the side indicators, which comes to less than £24, which I think is pretty good.

zain611 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I don't think Chrome bulbs are a problem. I had them on my Peugeot 107 as the front indicators. From the bulbs list it looks like the mk7 has the same indicator bulb fitting as the mk6 which is 581 bayonet. Haven't tried the osram bulbs but I do recommend the premium autobeam indicators which are bright and don't require resistors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I decided to buy the chrome autobeam indicator bulbs as they were better value than the Philips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Did you get halogen or LED? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Oh okay, yes you wouldn't have a problem with them. Like I said I had them on my Peugeot 107 which I think was standard. I just upgrade to led due to how instant they come on and their brightness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToXIcG Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Does anyone know if the bulbs need to be E marked to be legal as autobeam chrome indicator bulbs are not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Honestly if they flash amber and work like the standard halogen bulbs then I don't think you should worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
