Dame Edna Indicators

[sgould]

I need to carry spare bulbs for driving around Europe.

On The 2006-on cars the front indicator bulb is a PY24W type.  Spare bulbs are around £25/pair.  They look like this:




So when I found a pair on eBay across the channel and they arrived for £10 including postage.  I thought it would be rude not to.  They also had a little extra!!

And they look like this:




Apparently they are a standard BMW part.  They aren't really necessary as the orange in the later 9-5 is well hidden.  But I will fit them soon as they are also a bit brighter being the Vision Plus grade.   Philips call them PY24W SV+.
