Silver coloured amber bulb

[TRENDSETA]

Not too sure if this is really a tech question but i'm hoping that here i'll get more sensible answers than in the old talk forum

Can anyone say offhand if silver coloured indicator bulbs that flash amber are street legal ?

I recently changed my headlights and the indicators are clear without any amber glass moulding inside

i'm looking for the chrome coloured amber bulbs to get a uniform look
but don"t want to cross threads with licensing and police

i dont see what they could charge you for. If the bulbs lite amber then you're good.

Here is the law as it is written in the motor vehicles act

30. (1) Every motor vehicle or trailer manufactured after 1960 shall be fitted with directional indicators on either side of the front and rear of such vehicle, and every indicator shall be so designed and fitted that—

(a) it emits an amber light to the front and red or amber light to the rear;

(b) it flashes at sixty to one hundred and twenty times a minute;

(c) it shall not be more than one hundred and fifty five millimeters measured horizontally from the outermost point of the side of the body immediately behind the driver’s seat.

(2) Additional direction indicators may be fitted at the sides of the motor vehicle.

As far as I understand it, the light must flash amber in front and can be amber or red in the rear.
As long as your bulb flashes amber in front then there should not be a problem.
As long as it flashes amber, it does not make any difference what color it is when switched off.
That is as far as I understand it.

Amazon UK has the Philips bulb in the link above....I never knew those Philips bulbs existed...I had clear bulbs at first to get the clear lens look but after I put in amber led bulbs in case I got in a road block and get charged for not having amber colour indicators

i"m in the same boat . i had clear bulbs ...car looked clean but i was warned that it could be a problem if i ever got caught in a roadblock so i switched to amber . imo took the look of the lights down a good bit .

yeah with the amber led's I get the clear lens effect that blinks amber
