Default Slight d**k head moment
Right I'm halfway through detangoing my blob lights and I've hit a problem, I bought some silvertech bulbs from halfords without checking fitments. Stupid error because I've got the lights apart, and sprayed the inserts black and now I'm a bit stuck, I did have an idea to wrap a bit of sainsburys carrier bag around the indicator bulb as I don't think that will burn as the indicator only flashes, just to save me having to put them all back together with the orange inserts in then having to take them apart again, anyway does anyone know the correct fitment for the bulbs I need as I picked up the round bottom bulbs but the ones fitted at the flat type. I'm such an idiot sometimes

haha! I did exactly the same.

Luckily halfords is quite local to me, so I just drove back to get the right ones.

You need this style (W21W) - I have these ones:

You can dust the standard orange ones with a touch of silver paint as well if you have any floating around.
