Osram Diadem Chrome Indicator Bulbs Review

kneesliding · 07-01-2013, 02:09 PM

Hi,

I changed the indicator bulbs today from the Standard orange to a set of Osram Diadem Chrome.

Looks a lot nicer, and in comparison to the Philips Version, they are completly chromed.

Did you access the bulb from the wheel well or can you do it from under the hood?
Thanks

The blinker bulb is accessed through the panel behind the wheel well on M-sport lines. I believe other lines require you to remove 3 screws from the wheel well to access the turn signal housing.

looks fantastic!
is there a specific model number or are they generic?

I have a sportsline and don't have to remove screws to get to my blinkers. Just angle ur wheels all the way in and look up and inside u'll see a panel with 2 small clips holding it in. That's where the headlights and blinkers are.

I did have to remove 3 screws to get to the foglights though. But really easy to do, just use the back of the supplied screwdriver in the trunk

In the first pic , you have your lights on in the first pic but the lights are off in the second pic..
anyway you can repost a pic with the lights on with your newly installed lights..
BTW whats the cost of the Osram Diadem Chrome bulbs and where did you get them ?

Hi,

the first Picture is actually a Video

Click and you will see......

I got them in Germany.

carzaddict · 09-30-2013, 01:15 PM

is there anything else to the instructions other than twisting the bulb counter clockwise?

i tried to do it for 20 minutes the other day, it would twist slightly and get stuck...i couldnt twist it anymore and couldnt get the bulb to come out of the socket.

what am i doing wrong? what am i missing?
