hi guys,

does anyone know where i can buy silver coated side indicator light blubs and white driving light blubs (not the low beam headlight, but the small circle light that is below the headlight)?

is there any website that sell all the exterior and interior blubs for MCS?

Check with the site sponsors directory

They all do them

Mikey the MINI at newministuff.co.uk has them, you can find out more about his company in the sponsors section

I made my own clear bulbs by soaking the amber ones in goof-off ( a paint/glue/exposed~skin remover). Avoid putting the bulb completely under though, as the solvent may attack the seal between the glass & the metal. After a couple minutes, I just wiped the amber coating off with a paper towel.

so now they are just white? that would be illegal here, they have to flash amber, thats why the rainbow bulbs are used in their place

Yep - they're clear now. And illegal. I've had clear parking lights/indicators in front and clear side turn indicators for over a year and I haven't been hassled about it. But then I generally lay fairly low, anyways...
