FK rear light bulb trick

[Blimey 0]

If you have purchased a set of FK tail lights recently and have trouble fitting the indicator bulbs (pin offset) You can file off one of the pins and it sits quite nicely. Had mine in a week now and they have not fallen out...

 

Anyway cheap solution if you don't want to fork out on new bulbs....

with all the money most of us have spent on our C's, i wouldn't have thought a quid is a problem for a new bulb :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

surely they are like that so you have to fit orange bulbs......

They do orange bulbs in straight and off set pins 8) 8)

Yeah, noticed that with mine. Original white indicator bulbs have pins 180 degrees apart, the new orange style are not.

 

You can fit the orange ones into the VAG holders without filing anything off. Just use a LITTLE bit of pressure while fitting. As long as one pin contacts the circuit is made.

Straight and offset pins are readily available in orange and clear, quite common on volvo, vauxhall etc 8)
