Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a chrome indicator bulb option for the front headlights, side indicator and rear lamp units in a 2004 996 C4S? Several websites are giving me different info on which bulbs to buy, so I thought I’d ask the advice of owners. Thanks in advance, Wayne

I fit the Philips Silver Vision in my front lights 10 years ago. Still work fine now: Philips SilverVision Silver Vision PY21W Indicator Car Bulbs (Twin) | eBay Range: SilverVision. Number of Bulbs: 2. Indicator bulbs with Silver coating. Change both indicator bulbs at once for maximum effect. Silver-coated design indicator. Key Points. They will guide you through the warranty claim process and provide the necessary assistance. www.ebay.co.uk

POST 8Original post

I installed LED bulbs from classiccarleds.co.uk. Removes the amber and the bulbs are brighter and faster to light too. I did the reverse, brake and rear lights too. All are brighter and safer as they light up quicker. No issues with canbus as they have the proper resistance. The reverse lights in particular are a fantastic upgrade as they actually light the way when you're reversing.
