silvervisions?

[epham]

Hello everyone! I've been lurking around for a week or two and now have a question to ask...

Can someone please tell me where I can purchase silvervision bulbs? Cost? Website? Store?

My car docked at Port Hueneme today and should hopefully arrive at the dealership this Friday or Saturday! :D The wait has been awful! :eek: So I really hope there won't be any delays...crossing my fingers!

Anyway, you guys seem to have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the E46 so I'm glad I've found this place!

Cheers,
Erin

One source for silvervision bulbs is autolamps-online.com When I purchased them last June they were $23.50 per pair.

Congrats on joining the 'club'!

What are the specs on your car?

Free shipping! Yeah! Thanks for the website! :)

Just go out and buy Rustoleum high heat resistand silver paint and lightly coat your bulbs, it has the exact same effect as silversions and will save you $$.

does that really work? The paint won't flake off or anything? Hmmm...I might consider that...thanks for the suggestion!

because that's what I did to the bulbs in my rear clears.

However, the operative phrase is 'lightly coat'.

Unfortunately, I over did it when spraying the front bulbs with the effect that the amber color was very faint when illuminated or blinking.

I would recommend that you just go ahead and buy 2 sets of silvervision bulbs and be done with it.

Why skimp? 50 bucks is chump change when you just consider you dropped 30k for your 325CI.

Just my 2 euro's!

I bought mine from www.powerbulbs.com. The cost was around $38 for two pairs. They delivered them in about a week, free shipping.

I couldn't agree more with Mike above. Why take the chance and go through the aggravation of painting them to save a few lousy bucks? Certainly not worth it to me either! Go for it, you won't regret it!

[epham]

$38 bucks? I can do that. I'll order them right now...

Next step is to actually GET the car :rolleyes: :p
4 days and counting!

Cheers,

For those of you that don't have Xenons, the VisionPlus bulbs are IMO an improvement over the OE bulbs. I changed mine last week and we have been having some snowy, rainy and slopppy weather for the last few days and I have noticed a difference. Worth the money.

Just my €0.06 worth :D

Has anyone found replace bulbs for the OE fog lamps that are better than stock? Just wondering. The stock lamps suck IMHO.

I painted mine with silver Rustoleum high heat resistent spray paint over a year ago and no problems. I wasn't skimping on the $50 but I did not want to wait while the Silvervisions were on backorder - patience is not one of my virtues!

Neither place lists the E46 as a choice?

I had to send a message to their online help feature (info@autolamps-online.com) and validate that the part # I needed (12496SV) would be an acceptable replacement for my vehicle.

Hope this helps!

Damn, I didn't even check when I bought mine! Bought mine without even thinking about it, but they fit just fine.

I wonder if the fronts are the same as for the rears? Just being dumb here, but I would suspect they are the same.
