Chromium Sidelight Bulbs - MINI Cooper Forum

Was looking for a replacement for one of my White LED Sidelights, {Yeah I Know ...They`re NOT supposed to Blow

}, when I saw these Chromium Type Bulbs {by both Name & Nature}.
Never heard of them before, but the Auto Accessory shop said they were Brighter & gave out a Clearer Whiter light, & they were a preferred option with the Lexus Light Brigade

Dont know much about them except they are a filament type & look quite bright after a few seconds of warming up ...
....Oh Yes ...They give off an ORANGE Light

Just Googled the things, & seems they`re marketed as Indicator Bulbs

But as long as they`re less than 5W they should be Totally Legal ... {Colour Issues Aside}

ivan si scrive is there any topic, non there is!! è una interrogativa!
coming back on topic, I think they can be both led or normal bulbs, the matter is that they are slightly unlegal! so you need to make another electrical line in order to be able to use them only in restricted areas. not for daily use!

Hi, Yes they are LEDS in Stainless steel housings, the type normally used for garden decking.
White on the outside, & Blue in the centre, all individually switched.
