    Seen a few cars on here with them, look like the Silvatech ones that shine orange when lit, but the bulbs look silvery blue???? Are they illegal and where can you buy them?

    2001 mark 2 vtr I see you have RJ303?

    Pointless getting them, on the mark 2 lights the inidicators have a cover over the bulb so you won't see the bulb well anyway..

    Yeah thats right, Im thinking of changing to smoked ultras, there are some Saxo's on here that have got them and you can see the difference even though they have a lens covering them.
