allan 295 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Hi looking for a pair of 12 volt, 5 watt mini base side marker bulbs for the E39 . These are clear when not working and amber when working. Have found they could go by the following names Phantoms, Stealth, Solaris. Tried Repco, Super cheep and Jaz Cars in Palmy with no luck . Will try the stealers as a last resort but thought some one may be able to help. Thanks in advance Allan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Just to get it straight, you're after stealth bulbs? Like so.. You can get a set from Umnitza, or I've seen them in Repco or Supercheap up here in Aucks. Btw, I'll get back to you ASAP on the lights. Been busy.

allan 295 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Nick021 they are the one's. If they are available at Repco will go and have piece of somebody because I was told they did not have them. If no trouble could you find out what brand and a part No please. Was aware I could get them from overseas just the cost and time delay in getting them. The old silver paint trick ahh good one 99. What do you do just paint the orange bulb with the silver paint let it dry and thats it?. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one I have uses a small brush, you make sure its properly mixed, put a thin layer on and your done.Very easy and saves you a bundle on the overpriced bulbs in the shops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
