Osram Diadem Indicators

[Root Ginger]

Have any of you guys fitted these indicator bulbs? Check here...

They look excellent fitted. Same as the ones fitted in the clear rear lights and have that rainbow blue effect but flash amber.

Makes the front lights look really cool, but I was unable to capture the effect on photo. D'oh.

Also fitted the new Philips Blue Vision Ultra H7's (LINK) and W5W side lights. When you turn the side lights on they shine through the Osram Indicators really enhancing the rainbow effect and look excellent.

What's more it's all perfectly legal too!

Much, much better than the boring Philips Silver Vision. Already had people asking what I've done to my lights and I've only had them on there for one night!

Most impressed!

The sight does not list a MINI, what # are you using?

Do you have pics of the blue visions? I have been meaning to order them for my MINI, but i was worried that they would be too blue. How blue do they appear? Is the amount of light increased?

The indicator bulbs only come in one type, 21 watt, which suits the MINI. The headlights are H7 fitment (which incidently the link goes straight to the H7 page for this bulb) and side lights W5W fitment.

I didn't change main beams yet. Not sure whether it's worth it for the little time they are used.

I'll try and get some pics that capture the effect of the indicator but I was unsuccessful before.

Not sure exactly how blue the lights will be at night. I'm in the UK and on nights at the moment so have only looked at the lights during daylight.

There is a noticable difference in brightness though. Lights can be seen shining on backs of cars in bright sunlight when before they could not. That's without main beam too! Appearance is supposed to be as close to HID's as a standard bulb has ever got. 4000 Kelvin I think standard MINI HID's are 4300 or 4600 Kelvein.

Gotta download the pics off my phone first to show the difference in the day. Trying out the new 3G phones. Video calling is cool!

Right I've downloaded some pics off my phone now of the rainbow effect.






Looks even better in real life though

I had a set of these when they first came out in my Golf (latest shape) and now transferred to my Leon (as it has clear lenses) and they do look pretty good - a lot better than the orange.

...and better than boring silver vision!

I wish I had xenons. Wanted them for my car but would have had to wait another 3 months for them. As I had already waited a year for my car I couldn't wait any longer.

Never mind I'll have to make do with my Blue Vision Ultras now. Can't wait to see them at night!

I'll try and post some pics for everyone to see.

The Powerbulbs site mentioned above also has an "all-weather" bulb that appears to have a yellow color. Does anyone know if the MNI fogs are H1, H7, or H11? I've seen references to all three, and I'm too lazy to take the front apart twice.
