Indicator Bubs!!

[dunnah01]

I'm going to change a blown fog light bulb on my 3200 so thought it would be a good idea to change the indicator bulb whilst I was there. Does anybody know which type of bulb it is? I'm presuming it's an orange 21W bulb but is it a Type 343 or 581? Whilst I'm there I might do the side lights, any idea what type they are? The manual isn't very helpful

Sorry didn't read the thread properly, thought it was for a 4200, not a 3200

Thanks anyway. I did the other fog light bulb about 12 months ago which was definitely an H1 so seems to confirm that the bulbs are different even though the light units look very similar

If you still need a bulb let me know, I have one in Maserati packaging that I bought to make up the minimum order value on a eurospares order...

i'm trying to get my side lights to look white, to match the zenon head lights. does the suggestion of bulbs as above work!?
suggestion was 'Front side lights (OSH5W) 501 W5W Osram Halogen Cool Blue £12.02 pair' ?

I changed all mine buying from autobuilbsdirect and they are fine.

That is on a 4200.

Changed my blown bulb only a few days ago - I cant remember what type it was as I took it to my local motor factors and said "can I have one of these" from memory its an orange offset pin.

If you want to avoid the "fried egg" look buy a silvered bulb (they are orange when lit) - white bulbs are an MoT Failure for indicators.

The side repeaters can be replaced as well with silvered bulbs - they look much better. Tungsten halogen bulbs will never be as white as zenon, various "cool blue" types are an improvement though.

Search online - much cheaper than Halfrauds.

The cool blue side lights are a real improvement but after a couple of years they now need replacing.
I would go for the same again even tho they are a pain to put in!
