Need help with what lights i have as i need replacement bulbs asap to pass mot
Hi there im new to the forum so hope these pictures upload.
The problem i have is a month away my car is due for MOT but the lights that were on the car when i bought them, now i dont know what make they are and 2 of the bulbs have gone. Since they went i have bought 10 pairs of bulbs hoping for them to match but they never do, i have had all the bulbs out and know the make of the darker bulbs but there a company in taiwan and i cant seem to get any contact with them. As you can see from the pictures below the darker original bulbs (boot) are alot darker than the ones on the body of the car, the pictures dont really show it that great, but i have been pulled twice by police and get alot of comments saying it looks like your reverse lights are stuck on as there like a white/pink colour. I desperately need help tracking these bulbs down, i really hope someone can point me in the right direction Reece The lights ![]() The lights when on ![]() And the bulbs ![]() |

Im not sure there are any bulbs that will look red like what you want other than going with LED bulbs as they would be straight red. The other option would be wrap your tail lights with red vinyl tint to pass smog.

Yeh i have just ordered some cheap red LED bulbs of ebay to see if they work,
i have now tracked down the company who sell the lights in germany, hopefuly they will get back to me about the bulbs. I have the original lights to pass an mot, but i want these lights on there full time and the outers look pink/white. Where could i find bulb condoms? |
